how long after paint...

[Cmnky16]

should I wait to wax the car? How long should I wait to wash the car? I just don't wanna mess up my new paint but it definetly needs waxed asap so it has some protection.

From what I remember you need @ least 30 days for paint to cure. Just call your body shop to make sure tho........

[Cmnky16]

for wash or wax? or both?

[tgussie666]

Usually 1 week to wash......30 days to wax.

Depends on if its baked or not. If its baked you can wash it and stuff right away. You shouldnt wax it for like 30 days with normal wax. You can wax it right away with silicone free wax.. If you wax it with wax that has silicone in it, it will make the paint rise.
