Re: finally got car back from shop!

Best would be not to wash it for at least two to three weeks either.
Give the paint the time to get harder.
With the protection layer you want to put on you are preventing the paint from doing so.
Change is that the paint shows every little scratchmark if you polisch it to soon.
All the solvents have to get out of the paint and this is a long process.
If you wash the car it is better to clean with normal water first to get the dust particals off and prevent scratches.

I've heard the same thing. When my bro needed his trunk fixed (some asses vandalized it) on his CL they said no waxing for a month or so. Never heard 3.
