how long should i wait to detail a car after a fresh paint job
However do not run out to the car wash on your way home from the body shop. Give the paint two weeks to cure before you wash and wax the car. After the two week waiting period, it is time to wash the car. If you have a local car wash that you trust to wash your newly painted car, than take it there. Otherwise wash your car at home. You will need a five gallon bucket and a Ph balanced cleaner.
