fresh paint

[simtso]

Heres my question. Is it ok to use kaio and wax on a freshly painted fender? If not, how long should i wait. Someone told me the paint has to breathe and cure. :confused:

Wait at least 30 to 60 days you can use A glaze though. Paint has to out gas @ cure first.

nothing with a polish or cleaner in it. Also since by a design a sealant (seals) paint I might stay away from that.

I have used wax (pure carnauba) on fresh paint many times without issue. I was told once to think of the leaves on a plant , how do they take in oxygen , well its thru the leave. Water is taken thru the roots. And carnauba is placed on the leafs of its tree not to stop it from breathing but to protect it from heat and water.
