Anthony Orosco Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 It's no problem to polish and wax your car hours after being repainted so seeing that your paint is past 30 days you can polish and wax it until your heart is content Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are modern clear coats...even those used in autobody shops...faster curing, or cure in a different way? I know that new cars in the factory are force cured so that they are safe to wax right away, but I wasn't aware of this being the case in a repaint. This information is pertinent to me also (I was going to start a new post to ask, then found this one) because my GF's car was just repaired after a parking lot accident with a new front bumper and paint. I want to protect it, but I am not sure how to go about it with new paint/products technology. The last repaint I took care of was my 66 Mustang back in the eighties!

Anthony Orosco Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yep, pretty much. Shortly after your car has been repainted it is wet sanded and buffed so adding some wax on top of that is no problem as the paint can cure through that micro thin layer of wax..

ehall Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Anthony, Do they wet sand after the clear coat, or before, or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
