We are taking delivery of a new CRV EXL tomorrow. I plan to give it a wax soon and possibly polish. I always used Lexol products on the interior of my S2k so intend to continue that.

My question is what timeframe do I need to do this in (can I wait a little bit then polish/wax)? Do I even need to polish? When should I protect the leather right away or is there a protectant from the factory that I should leave on?

Realistically I don't have a ton of time, so my thought was we would drive it a couple weeks then I would do it all after the first wash

What do you guys typically do with new cars?

The best recommendation I can give is for you to pm Phil at DetailersDomain (our forum sponsor) and ask him this very same questions. He can give you a short list of products and their use on your cars interior/exterior.

No power seats is an issue as an S2000 owner?
