Hi all!

Hi folks!

New 2006 XLR owner. About to turn 37,000 miles and a beautiful Infrared. Just wanted to say hi and exclaim how excited I am to finally have one of these cars. Already in love and it hasn't even been a week!!!

Quick question or two if I may...

Any suggestions on things I should know about the car? Anything I wouldn't know to ask?

Any tips or suggestions on type of waxes, leather conditioners, surface cleaners to make her shine? She's gonna get a little beat up in the Florida summer here :/

Thanks all! Looking forward to this community!

Welcome aboard! It's good to hear that you are enjoying your new ride.

Griot's Garage products work well on the XLR. I would suggest using a clay bar and paint sealant. Check with cubby558, his '06 Infrared XLR-V is beautiful.

Here is some info:

Welcome to the forum!!!!

I suggest Surf City Garage products and invest in a Porter Cable dual action buffer.

And that's because he works so hard at it!

I awoke to the sight of him drying and cleaning his XLR that Sunday morning in Asheville!

Welcome to the forum and be sure to read page 2-8 of your owner's manual!

Show us some pictures!

My friends in FL swear by this as the best wax for sunny locations.

Welcome. Lots of great info here on tips and tricks, not all quirks affect all XLR's so tough to cover a broad question like that.
For great finish protection and car care, the Porter Cable 7424XP is a great oscillating polisher, and Adam's make a fantastic line of car care products for interior and exterior care. Lots of good brands of products out there though, I just happen to believe in Adam's enough to be a dealer.
Anyhow, enjoy your XLR, and all the great people on the forum.
