You absolutely should detail your car, and regularly. Doing so will increase the lifespan and value of the vehicle, as well as increase the safety of the driver, through the application of products like hydrophobic glass coatings & non-slip plastic sealants.

In our professional opinion, that's the best time to do it! When the paint is freshly factory-cured and the car arrives for delivery it is at it's optimal for a quick touchup and immediate protection.
Can detailing remove scratches?
