Any truth to this? I've always heard about how fresh paint needs to cure before anything can be applied to the paint.
^ Hit the nail on the head.
while i do make customers of mine aware of this when they pick their cars up from the body shop im at, ive never personally seen any issues with paint being waxed after its been baked in a booth and had a day or two to cure (8 years here).
i wouldnt advise to go out and wax every fresh paint job, im just stating what ive seen :beer:
I wax mine from the second I get to back to my dealership from the railyard and get it cleaned off.
