New BMW....what to do?

So I've purchased my first BMW. It looks great and I want to keep it that way for a long time. What if anything should be done to it while it's new?

Soe have recommened Klasse's All-in-One for the rims to help keep the brake dust from sticking. Is this true and what else should be done?

You seem like you want something basic. Grab some Zaino. Plenty of people use it, and for the effort that is required, you get some pretty stellar results. After time you'll start enjoying the appearance more, after that you'll probably want to get more in depth, but for now, a basic Zaino kit is perfect.

Yes, I love my new car but I don't have the time to be a di-hard enthusist like many on this forum. The car is black sapphire metallic and it looks so awesome when in direct sun. Thanks for the tip!

you wont have to become a di-hard enthusiast but you will need to be very diligent to keep the black sap. looking awesome in the years to come. my last bmw was also black sap. and i loved it but it was way too much work to keep nice so this time i went with tiag. good luck with your ride

I would stick with Zaino. Get a couple coats of Z-2 on the paint. When you start seeing swirls, start using Z-5. When you had enough of covering up the swirls start using Z-PC.
I have jet black and Zaino makes it look great. My car actually made it to the Zaino website.

I've used Klasse AIO/SG. It's great for the detailer who likes a nice car but isn't neurotic about keeping it looking spectacular.
