2. How long till after a paint job until I start to wax etc?



3. Can I wetsand immediately?
 
Hi,



1)on fresh paint untill the paint is cured use a glaze only



2)how long it takes to cure depends on the paint you have used: a safe number is 30 days, but ask were you've bought the paint



3)sure, you can wetsand immediatly, but before sealing or waxing , see answer 1)

I second the vote for 3M's IHG or Meg's #7. I use a lot of the PI-III MG (pn 05937), but with its abrasiveness, I dunno if *I* would use it on fresh paint. At least not on fresh paint that already looked the way I want it to.



Christiaan- I think you meant to type "3M PI-III *FINISHING* GLAZE". Different animal, not as abrasive. Correct me if I'm wrong :o
 
thanks

I feel like I becoming a detail freak!



Cars go down the road and I'm like, that could use a clay bar and that a good polish.
