    wax/sealant after body repair

    Had my quarter panel repainted after an accident, ive seen the consensus is to wait 30-60 days before waxing/sealing, however the body shop used PPG enviro waterbased paint and said it was ok to apply wax right away. I cant find any information from PPGs website and was curious if anyone knew or can advise?

    I guess worse case is i can use Meguirs 305 to get my by.

    Thanks for the help.

    They know their paint/paint processes better
    than I—prompting my suggestions as follows:

    1.) If they gave you a Warranty:
    Trust them on the “it’s ok
    to apply wax right away”.

    Otherwise, IMO:
    2.) Meguiar’s M305 is an excellent ‘tweener
    that’ll get you through the next 60-90 days.

    Wait 30 days before using a silicon based product or coating. Otherwise you can polish or correct it right away. Use 3D 505 and you'll be fine.
