Can i wax my car right after a paint job?
Can i wax my car right after a paint job?
About 3 months ago i got some body work done on my quarter panel and the guy said that i couldnt wax that area for a couple of months but when i got my ss spoiler painted he didnt say anything about not waxing it. Should i wax it? I wanna wax the whole car can i do it?
Here is the word I got from my body shop. Factory paint job (GM, not SLP) you can polish and wax right away. Non factory jobs like the ones they do, you have to wait 3 months or so.
They explained the factory baked the paint on. They don't - it would tend to ruin the fabric and rubber portions. Hence the 3 month wait.
If they took the spoiler off and roasted it after painting it, you would be ok. If not, they should have told you to wait.

Nah, just kidding. I actually had a spot paint job done on my hood that was scratched about 1 1/2 monts ago, the dealership told me not to wax it for about 2 months. 
Oh, I see you have already waited the 3 months, go ahead and wax it.
