I have a 02 WRX with 29,000 and it looks like hammered dogs#!t. I have taken out the fog lights and put STi covers (solid ones) on, to protect the foglights for they are not cheap! I have a clear bra too but only on the upper half of the front end. New paint couldn't hurt

 

When I got my Subaru new they told me not to wash it for a month because the paint needed to dry. So I let it get really dirty and the paint doesn't seem to chip very easy now. Just wondering if people experiencing the problem washed their car right away? It would be intresting to know if their was any truth to this.

 

I've had body work done on cars that required painting. The guy at the body shop said to not wax the car for 30 days to allow the new paint to cure, but it was fine to wash it. Of course, this is aftermarket paint, not OEM paint with a clear coat.

Given that new cars have spent some time between the factory to your hands (say at least a couple weeks on a container ship, sitting at the port, on a train or truck, for example), I'm guessing the paint has had enough time to cure.
