Default How long should I wait?
I just recently had my hood painted (about 2 weeks ago). Wondering how long I should wait before painting? The shop owner mentioned that if I WANTED to wax I could do it right away but I would need "Breathable" wax. I have no idea which company offers "Breathable" wax.

Anyway, any suggestions? I'd love to slap on a few coats of Zaino.

My body man always says wait a month before waxing. You can polish, but don't seal with anything. As for breathable wax...I have no idea!
