When to wax for the newly paint car?

[Marco101]

Mga masters sa detailing, i have my hood and fender painted for a week now. Is it safe to have it detailed by detailing shops now ? if not, when is the right time ? thanks and more power.... :?:

[theveed]

no, the paint needs time to cure, usually around 60-90 days minimum for the paint's solvents to evaporate, sealing it too soon will yield future bubbles and pinholing.

you can have it glazed, though. 3M Imperial Hand GLaze and Meguiar's #7 or #9 would work as well. Anything without waxes, polymers, acrylic or silicon would be safe.

newly painted cars need 90 days for the solvent to evaporate. waxing may cause die back in which the solvent gats trapped in the clearcoat making the clear faded or kupas. Pag brand new car i think its safe to wax cause hi bake process ang ginagawa sa factory stil not sure though.

huh?60-90 days pala?so after the liha and minor buffing,hindi muna sha pwede e wax and e buff again right?tagal pala...hindi kce ganun pa ka kintab yun finish eh.pero ok lang.

so after 2 to 3 months pa pwede e wax and buff ulit right?

[Bossing]

pwede i buff wag lang wax. what we do kasi after painting is rubdown, polish and instead of wax we use speed glaze substitute to for wax since newly painted car but it also provides protection and gloss like wax. wel if after 1 month mejo di ka satisfied with the gloss just polish it and apply glaze. then after 3 months wax it and touch up with quik detailer

[nikko m]

bossing,
do you have a shop?

and brand ba yun speed glaze?if so,where can i buy them?

just had my car repainted lang kce eh,na buf lang,pero im not satisfied kce with its shine,ang dull pa.it really needs buffing pa,or even sanding again.

but ayaw ko lang muna ipagalaw kce i want my paint to settle 1st.

[Bossing]

yup pr autosport sa bf homes. speed glaze meguiars i dont think available sa mga stores try meguiars kamias.maybe kaya dull due to sanding arks pa pabuff mo na lang ulit where you had it repainted. what paint did u use?

[Marco101]

pareho tayo scenario nikko. Ayaw ko pa galawin yung paint hanggang di pa cia fully cured. Kaya lang , puede kayang gamitin pang wash yung zip wax and wash liquid ng turtle wax ? Bossing, need ur advise. thanks... :?:

oic,anyway,had my car painted in car concepts,bago pa lang yun shop eh,but the painters are veteran already,came from a painting shop before,the owner gave me a good deal kce,parang sponsor.

anyway,the paint i used is du pont.

hey boss nikko hows your corona?
na pintahan na ba?
what color?

[theveed]

Nikko and Marco: you can use either most of Meguiar's Mirror Glaze line of glazes or 3M Perfect It Finishing glaze and 3M Imperial Hand Glaze

[Marco101]

Thanks master theveed. I bought 3m imperial hand glaze and jml MF a week ago. Can I use ordinary cloth , kamiseta de chino, as aplicator then JML for final wipe?Thanks again...

[Bossing]

im not so sure about wash soaps containing wax pero its better to be safe until fully cured yung paint just use wash shampoo wihout wax

[nikko m]

OT
hey boss nikko hows your corona?
na pintahan na ba?
what color?

sir,
yup!finish na po,color is satin silver with a shade of blue.

bossing,
yun mga foam wash ba meron wax?

[Bossing]

nikko,
i havent tried magpa foam wash and i really dont know what type of wash soap thay use. magnda ba magpa foamwash?

[nikko m]

bossing,
well,based from my experience, ok naman, plus theres a diff. talaga bet. the foam wash and the conventional wash.

besides,halos lahat na ata ng major car wash shop here uses foam eh.ok naman,sulit sa car wash,wel it depends na rin kong magaling yun nag cacar wash db.

[theveed]

Nikko: sorry to tell you but there's no difference between foam wash and regular wash... foam wash is nothing more than shampoo with more air than water in it... and in a sense, less effective in lifting the dirt from the surface and also has a bigger tendency to create water spots due to the fact that there's less water to evaporate in a foam structure...

foam washes are just gimmickry (sp?) by car washes to create a "more thorough wash" illusion to customers.

foam washes are nothing more than soap + water + air compressor...

you also don't have control nor knowledge of whether the car wash is using real car shampoo or just the usual powdered Tide mixed with water.

[nikko m]

oic,

thanks for tip sir theveed.

kso lang,wala na atang gumagamit ng conventional wash eh.puro foam wash na.

[theveed]

Simply bring your own shampoo and tell them to bucket wash. That's what I do most of the time if I can't wash my own car...
