    My ride is currently in the shop and I'll get it in 2-3 weeks. Can you please give me any tips on what I can do to protect it? Thanks!

    A good wax, available at your local parts store or detail shop. Wax surely protect your paint.

    IMHO, let the paint dry thoroughly for at least 2 months before applying wax..

    and invest in a good microfiber cloth and car duster..

    While waiting for the 2 months "drying" time, you can use glaze

    pa- detail ka sa detail doctor! home service! if you want it done right after the paint job, okay lang din, we'll find a package that doesn't include the wax so your paint can breathe and dry correctly. if you want to wait until after your paint is fully dried naman, no problem din apply natin yung wax para kumintab talaga. by the way we use adam's premium car care products... really high end detailing products yan from the states.
    contact me for questions or whatever.
