fresh paint .. how long to clean
so i just got my car back from the shop and i had them repaint the passenger side of my car. they told me i could wash it tomorrow just not wax it for 2 months however when i went to auto zone the guy told me i shouldnt even wash it at all except water for 3 months!! so i was wondering when should i start washing?
i had a hood scoop painted and they said don't wash for about about 30 days and don't wax for about 60
***edit - i forgot to add when they said 'don't wash it', they meant don't power wash it

You can wash your car to your heart's content...
No wax for a couple of months though.
Repainted Hood and Joe the Painter said it needs to cure for 1 week before hand washing, 30 days before power/car washing and 60 days before waxing. I'm tooooo impatient, and used Mother's detailer after a week and Carnuba wax after two weeks with absolutetly no problems at all.
