polish after a paint job

[tko]

how soon should you polish after a paint job?

3 months?

Depends on the weather I guess. If you expose the vehicle to a good amount of direct sunlight as it come out the shop....check about 4-6 weeks..... But now as is rainy season - yuh might want to wait about ah 3 months.

I have been advised this by more than one painter man. "Come back for a buff in ah month"

generally 3 months is a good waitthe clear coat cures much better
if the car was "baked" after painting it dries much quicker though

okay, then 3 months it is. any recommendations for a car that was painted black what would be the best brand of polish to use?

a carnauba wax...

don't use any prewax cleaners because the surface is new.

also, a spray wax might be good as well... nothing strong on the surface - just wipe/spray on, wipe off.
