Questions about a new paint job Can I put on my SS emblems right away after a fresh new paint job? What adhesive spray is best to use for the emblems? I have a cousin who is a detailer and he's also certified to put on those clear bras and I'm curious if I can put on one of those clear bras right away or would I have to wait?
I was reading that the clear coat takes 90 days to fully cure so does that mean I can't wash my car for those 90 days?

You can wash the car, just be easy and use lots of soap and water and dont push hard. You cant wax it for 90 days because wax forms a coat that prevents the paint from fully releasing the solvents. As far as the emblems, I think you are ok after a couple of days, but I like to wait a few weeks just to be sure. I would treat the clear vinyl just like wax, it is not going to allow the solvents to escape either.
