I just got my car back yesterday fromt eh body shop,how long are you supposed to wait to wax or wash the car???

 

I didnt do anything to mine for 2 months after it got painted.

 

dupont says to wait 6 months, but you can wash it after a week.

 

Depends on the paint--I would wait 6 months for wax.

 

6 months is about right

 

I waited 3 for zaino

 

Never... use Zaino.

I waited 2 months on mine.

 

You got it painted yellow? Post pics!!

 

3 months is what I've been told and have done.

 

Everyone I've talked to said 30 days for wax. But I guess it depends on the paint. I had clearcoat put on mine as well, but I ended up waiting a couple months because it was winter anyways so the car was stored.

 

heres what you need to know about paint.
this is for base/clear paint

if its baked you can wash it 5 minutes later. because no matter what they say. they wash the car after they wetsand it and buff.

and wax you should wait 12 days if it is baked or 60 days if it is not.

i waited 54 days after my IROC was painted and then applied my paint sealant. NOT WAX, i hate wax. this stuff is the sh*t, almost as good as Zaino. but anyways. i waited that long.

and washing your car doesnt matter if its been clear coated. so dont get all fussy about it. what would you rather have a clean car or a lot of dirt sitting on the paint eating into it?
