I just got my car back from a new paint job. I was told paint takes 60-90 days to fully cure and I should not dry wipe the car or apply wax. For things like pollen, is waterless wash safe vs having the pull out soap and water to rinse off the car?

I have pinnacle waterless wash at home. My painter said anything marked body shop safe is good to use. He wasn’t familiar with pinnacle.

As long as it does not have any wax, sealant or silica (SiO2) then you are ok to use.

Looks like it’s got carnuba. I guess I should find a quick detail spray?

I would rather do a rinseless instead of waterless, it will be easier on the paint. Search her on how to do a rinseless. I use the Gary Dean method, search YouTube for that too.

For this type of situation, I’ve found that
body-shop-safe Meguiar’s #34 Final
Inspection is the perfect product for keep-
ing new paint jobs gorgeously cleansed.

Rinse with water at a coin op.
