Hello,

I've decided on which Coupe I'm going for now and will be picking it up next week. I'm excited about this and wanted to ask you all if there are any do's and don'ts with regards to owning a Coupe? It's a black 1.6 S 55 plate if that helps.

How often should I wash it? I've seen that there are some pretty detailed guides that are really out of my depth. Is it ok to take your Coupe to a hand car wash or should you clean it yourself? I'm a complete novice you see so wouldn't know where to start.

Anything in the Autoglym range is generally really good, and very reasonably priced.

As regards to waxing, A mircofibre cloth is probably the best way to go.

My Dad actually pulled out a massive kit of Autoglym products the other day. I haven't a clue where he got it from but there must be every product imaginable in this pack so it looks like Iâ€™m ready to rock and roll with it. There is even a washing guide which Iâ€™ll have a good read of.
