  • when to polish fresh paint?

    I know Ken will have something to say about this, along with the rest of you Zaino finatics. My RS is black, so I want to put some Z hours into it as soon as I can. My buddy was suggesting all these polishes a waxes etc etc to me last night and I told him that I didn't know when I should put ANYTHING on the car because I have only had it back from paint for 1 month. How long should I wait before applying anything or polishing? 6 months? 1 year?

    You can start Zainoing away 2 weeks after it has been painted. Go for it.

          Most clearcoats are basically cure in less than a week. It depends on things like outside temperature, amount of direct sun, and humidity, but after a month you are good to go!
