Rep Power: 391 I'd say you should ask the people who painted it... while their instructions made sense to me... you can't really be expected to keep your car in a warehouse for three months. but ya I'd suggest asking the folks who painted it - otherwise you could hold out for a reply here.

Rep Power: 372 Do not wax your car....I dont know about 3 months. Since it is getting warm now it may take shorter for the paint to cure fully. You may be able to get away with not waxing for 2 months. You still can wash the car....just be careful that you use clean wash mitts and chamois....you dont want to scratch the paint.

Rep Power: 372 I would leave it alone....Nothing is going to happen to it.....Dont worry so hard...I can see your vains popping from your head....and I live really far away from you....When the 2 or 3 months is up you can go on a waxing frenzy

Rep Power: 0 don't apply any polish or wax, just wash it with soap and water. If you find some bird crap or something on it, just whipe it off with a soft damp wet cotton cloth. Wait at least the three months it will be better in the long run
