Well today I went to the Meguiars seminar.

We were told that if you go to a body shop or a paint a part yourself you should not wax it for 60-90 days, this allows the paint to harden properly. If you do wax before the 60-90 days the paint will be soft.

They said you can polish fresh paint.

most paint sprayers will compound polish the paint the next day

Which is fine just don't WAX it.

I've heard the same no wax for approx 2 months after respray and that came from a bodyshop

I've heard that in the past. Somebody I used to know also believed you shouldn't wash fresh paint for at least a couple of weeks for similar reasons.

Really you shouldn't wax or wash fresh paint for 4-6 weeks.

It gets really confusing all these different opinions, why can't there just be 1 rule for all this stuff would make life so much easier.

Yes dont wash it and polish it under 1 year and every year after that. If you do it that way your car only gets dirty once a year.
