Freshly Painted Panel & Klasse AIO & SG

[Marty]

I just had a panel resprayed on my car.



Can I use Klasse AIO & SG on it or do I have to wait 2-3 months before I can use anything on the panel?

I would wait. While you might be able to get away with using it right away, a mistake will result in permanently damaged paint. That`s not worth it imo.

Ask the place where you had it done, they should give you a timeframe. It`s usually at least thirty days; in the meantime, you can use a glaze instead of the sealer. It won`t offer the same protection as the SG, but a little bit is better than none, imo.

I just washed and QD`ed mine for 60 days. I used Eagle One Wet Wipe N` Shine. Seeing it looking good helped me get overthe waxing itch. I still waxed the rest of the car.

Definitely wait and give the panel enough time to gas off . . . 8 to 12 weeks is adequate. Prematurely sealing the paint will most likely cause the clear coat to cloud or blister.

Can someone recommend a good glaze that I can use?



Something from Meguiar`s or Mothers as these products are commonly available here in Australia.



Thanks for the advice guys :)

Ya know .. even if you do nothing but keep it clean and free of contaminats for the first 30 days the paint won`t fall off .. fresh paint is pretty soft and you chance marring it by using anything on it that requires more than very light rubbing..
