01Bullitt Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I just had my back fender refurbished due to some nasty gouges in it. They had to repaint the bumper and my question is how long do I need to wait before waxing over the fresh paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ss-truck Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would wait about 30 days for the paint to fully cure and outgas the evaporating solvents before waxing. Let it breath so as to prevent later problems . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it breath so as to prevent later problems . Hi Bernice, Welcome to our forum! I agree with Mike, 30 Days is good if the car experiences outdoor temps above 70 degrees, and a few sunny days. Otherwise, you can Polish right away with no side effects, just ease-off any waxing or sealing. (Our Buttery or Machine SuperWax would be a no-no, but the Revive Polish and Fine Machine Polish, or Brilliant Spray Glaze can all be used on relatively fresh paint. Thanks and again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I just had my tails tinted and did just as Adam suggested. I used all but the spray glaze. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 01Bullitt Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks for everyone's help. Since the temps aren't around 70 yet here (Pacific Nortwest) and the car doesn't need to be at a show anytime soon, I think I'll stick to the spray glaze for a while.

That's the ticket Bernice, and exactly what I would do! Be sure to let it dry for 30+ minutes if the temps are below 65 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
