Advice needed for new owner

So i have my new car, rained all over me on Day2 of ownership = bummer. The tenorite grey now has a nice coat of dirt dumped all over it. For some who does not have eletrical polishing equipment etc could an expert give me a step by step guide to cleaning car myself for start to finish?

This car is so much fun its incredible. The noise is insane even limited to 4500rpm.

Suspect my ML63 will be gathering cobwebs for a little while !!

1) congrats!
2) time to update your sig
3) i'm fascinated by dropping ~ $95K on an ML AMG. to each is own--and it's an awesome beast, but man...the price tag on that thing. I went the C63and ML 350 route.

Congratulations, Maverick!

I'm no expert on cleaning the car (even though I do wash my own car), so I'll refrain from dishing out advice.

But yeah, like you, I'm also finding it harder and harder to want to drive the other cars now that I've grown accustomed (or addicted?) to the C63!
