new paint job

**EATsleepJDM** · 08-18-2008, 11:16 PM

i have been reading on the internet that when you get a new paint job you cant wash it for 3 to 6 month!?!?is that true? i mean i understand that the paint needs to cure but my car has been pretty dirty and i want to wash it but the paint might get messed up.and also if i would be able to wash it,can i wax the car too?

thats maaco. a good autobody put your car in an oven to dry it out. some maaco probably leave your car outside to dry. lol

your not supposed to use certain soaps for a while but water and nice microfiber towels are fine

**EATsleepJDM** · 08-18-2008, 11:37 PM

so im guessing no waxing?

Definitely don't wax it yet. Oh and try not to use pressure washers, just a garden hose and just water with a sponge, I wouldn't use soaps yet but it's on you really.

that looks good. how much you pay?

**EATsleepJDM** · 08-18-2008, 11:59 PM

i think from what i remember it was $650.and that included sanding of the roof and trunk because of the cancer before.

you keep it the same color? did they do the door jams and whatnot?

**RAZ_76** · 08-19-2008, 01:09 AM

Did they fix any dings, dents or just sand and paint for 650? It looks good for Macco.
