07sctc Reg'd: Feb 16, 2008 Tech Advisor	you could do it anytime but should wait a few months for the paint to fully cure before waxing since it puts a barrier on the paint that can keep it from fully curing the way it needs to. there is a difference between dry paint and cured paint. also if it is only a few days old there should be no mineral buidup to need a clay bar for. beware of the mad sciontist ! ask me your car audio and electronics questions!! a little signature love for good sellers....

Mayo Reg'd: Feb 14, 2007 *The Guru*	Curing for paint is like a 6 week thing. And thats ~6 weeks after its been painted at the factory. So I think from factory to you garage has been a decent amount of time for the paint to cure. I think you're alright for a wash and what not. But someone chime in if Im wrong, haha.

Orin Reg'd: Dec 08, 2005	There is enough time from when the vehicle leaves the factory in Japan and is transported that you'll be able to wax to your heart's content. As a matter of fact, there is a 90 % chance someone already beat you to it when ripping the plastics off the vehicle & taken into the dealership for processing into inventory. All vehicles should get a wash and detail after being taken off the truck.

Dispatcher138 Reg'd: Jan 08, 2008 Master Mechanic	Everytime you wax it....clay bar it. I did this and my car was always clean. I waxed it 2-3 times a month. overkill maybe but my car was always shining. -Garrett H. www.teamscionrg.com

andino Reg'd: Mar 05, 2006 Godlike Advisor	You can wash/wax your car the day you get it. Nowadays, cars have heat treated clear coats from factory so you don't have that paint curing time. Are you in SoCal? Come to our CStC meets! Located in Socal? Need something Installed? Have a question and no one is willing to help? Shoot me a PM or hit me up on AIM.

But someone chime in if Im wrong, haha. that is true for most cars that sit on the lot a while. i special ordered mine and piced it up off the boat. it was built the same month i got it. just check the manufacture date inside the door. beware of the mad sciontist ! ask me your car audio and electronics questions!! a little signature love for good sellers....
