I had a run in with a pipe and it dented my rear passenger door and took out some paint. I had it fixed at a shop and they "blended" half the front door and the rear quarter panel. Anyways, when I picked it up I noticed they had waxed that area. Aren't you supposed to let the paint cure for a few weeks before waxing it? I asked the manager and he says that it is ok to wax immediately. thoughts?

usually after the paint is done they do a wet sand, one more shot of clear, then a polish and a glaze..maybe what they did was the polish and glaze..but i wouldnt recomend waxing at lease for the first 6 months when the paint is new.

yeah, just polish alone can make it look pretty darn shinny...

it isn't polish and glaze. It's wax as I can still see white residue on certain spots. Even the manager himself said they waxed the area.

it depends on what they did after they painted the car. i don't remeber what they do or can do, but one of the ways u can wax and do whatever right after, and the other way u can't and have to wait a few weeks before doing anything

Polish and glaze leaves a white residue too.. (I unoficially work at a body shop)

Don't sweat it, if it gets F'd up bring it back to them and have them redo it. They painted it, they waxed it...
