    Yes you need to wait a minimum of 30 days before waxing fresh paint. It takes at least that long for the solvents to fully dry, if you wax and seal it before then it can bubble and ruin the job.

    You can wet sand and polish after 48 hours, polish doesnt seal the paint like wax does.

    Looks awsome!

    Looks like the grill, mirrors and door handles are getting done to ours in the near future!

    Sorry for the late comment, but how is it holding up? I'm thinking about doing mine but am worried about how it will last in a heavier duty area like the grill that gets hit with bugs and the occasional rock and then washed off? It looks great!
