Re: Fresh paint. How long do i need to wait.... They should have baked the paint after they painted the car, so you can basically wash it right away (I waited a few days tho). As for waxing, 2-3 weeks after will be enough.

But the car has always been Navy Blue Metallic.
Couldn't get quite enough out of the guy's insurance company for a full re-paint, heh.
Re: Fresh paint. How long do i need to wait.... If they car have been repainted and baked, you want to wait 6 weeks as a rule of thumb.
Considering how shiny new paint already it, I would just let the paint sit for 2 months, it's already clean. Just spray the dust off with water or something.
