Clay the car asap, and follow with Zaino. If it has swirls, use a polish first.

But, if you get a paint job done thats aftermarket(repair or custom paint job), you need to wait 6 months for the paint to dry.

The exception are cars made in England.

If you wait six months after a repaint (ofr repair or custom paint) your paint will be exposed to alot of nasty and will suffer the consequences.

Which means that for new cars, I can just get down to it immediate and Zaino! Cool. I can't wait to see the shine on my Vred. And thanks for the tips, will remember that about repaints, but let's hope I'll never need that!
