So my car is back from the body shop. It was keyed rather heavily (every panel except the top) a few weeks ago, and it had to be scuffed and re-painted. Looks great now. I remember someone saying a while back (not necessarily here) that you're not supposed to detail your car for 30 days after its been painted. Is this true? Why? I asked the guy at the shop, and he just nodded and said, "30 days, yup" Can I at least wash it? The body-shop applied something to the car, because it's shiny and clean, but I want to use my Klasse...the stuff they put on is attracting dust and pollen like crazy.
