Junkman2008 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Is the question wash or wax ? I'm waiting for a answer too. I think he meant wax and if he did, someone gave him some bum scoop. Welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsdesign Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Sorry guys, the question was weather or not to WAX lacquer. I have been told that waxing will not allow lacquer paint to breath. This could cause "checking" in the paint. Would like to know the forums oppinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father painted with lacquer for 40 years. Somebody gave you some bum scoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myredc5 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I had a 64 StingRay in family for 12 years, Dad and I waxed it every month with no problems. That was with the old waxes of the 60's. Todays waxes are much improved. Good luck, great car, miss mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_pappy Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm thinking you should just send that Corvette my way. I'll wax it up, then do a survey on the paint over the next 20 years, complete with write up and pictures, then send the car back (after the aforementioned 20 years). Otherwise, welcome to the forum.
