Finally bought a RA

Honestly i had no intension of buyin the car because i didn't think my credit was enuogh. I went to visit my friend @ the dealer who is the internet manager and he swindled me into buyin it with no money down. Financed though Mitsubishi.

I have a few questions.

1. I heard black is hard to keep clean but damn after a day it's dirty. What is the best material to use on washin the car? I read that sponges leave swirls and tiny scratches.

2. When is the best time to do my 1st oil change and what oil should i use?

3. Where can i find a good performance shop down in SFL so i don't have to drive all the way to orlando?

1. Yeah it sucks to keep clean but looks fresh when it is clean (same as white IMO). A soft sponge should be fine, just make sure to keep it clean and dont let little rocks from the ground or bucket get in it.

2. I did mine at 1k miles using regular oil (just to get all the crap out from the break in) and again at 3k with synthetic.

3. No idea, i'm in NY.
