    Freshly painted panels

    If you had several panels repainted, and the cure time is what average 3 months, how long until you can wax the vehicle, 3 months? or with paint and nuba wax being porous can you wax it relatively soon, personally I'd probably wait a month and then throw a nuba on there (assuming you can do that, otherwise I'd obviously wait lol)

    Re: Freshly painted panels

    This depends of quality , first the paint job , second clear coat.
    In my case i can use rotary to remove imperfections ( dust , orange peel ) after 24 hrs . I use only Standox clears and it's possible to do that ( with some clears it can be done after 5-6 hrs ) .

    What type of clear is used on your car ( 2K MS , 2K HS , 2K VOC ) and how many coats ( 0,5+1 , 2 full coats or 3 and more ) ?
