before polishing andwaxing a car with fresh paint or clear?

 

Ask you painter/body shop guy!

 

That really helped!

 

Usually like 30 days or so

 

If they place it in a drying room you can wax it right away if not, you have to wait thirty days.

 

i thought it was longer than that?

 

I was also told by my body shop guy to wait 30 days after having it painted.

 

yeah...if the shop baked it then you will be fine waxing it right away. but if not then you need to wait at least a month to let all the oils out of the paint and let it cure right.

 

30 days regardless if they bake or not. baking just dries the fresh paint faster so it can get out of the shop faster. it takes 30 days to fully cure, before then its VERY easy to scratch/swirl and waxing it will only extend the curing period

At least 30 days before waxing. I would wait a little longer though. They used to say not to wax for 90 days. You can use any kindpolish or glazeif you want to, but not wax for the first 30.
