What to do with a newly painted car?

i had a couple of panels repainted last week. i washed it with polyglaze gel (without wax) and after i dried it i applied polyglaze glaze...

do i have to do this everytime i wash my car (applying glaze i mean) for the next 6 mos. or so?

not everytime you wash... reglaze once a week or 2x a month will suffice...

Not very sure whether Poly GOG is bodyshop safe though.

Just leave it that way for at least a month or two. if it becomes dirty, just hose it off with plain water and wipe off dry with chamois or micro fiber towel. Use a plain car shampoo if needed. Foaming shampoo is not that effective. All the active ingredients for cleaning are left inside the tank, what really comes out is just a foam with little or no wax at all.

Let the new paint cure itself naturally for long lasting paint life.
Thereafter, you can now apply soft wax such as those available in the market. Since it is a new paint and pressumably free from any stains, the best to use is a liquid-type wax for easy application yet effective. Eagle One's Wax-As-U-Dry or Wipe N Shine are two of the best liquid wax I have ever used.
Better yet, go to a professional detailer like Big Berts at Ortigas home depot in Julio Vargas. I'm not plugging the outlet for commercial purpose but they sure do a very good job. I'm one of thier satisfied customer.

thanks sir...yea i will wait until around 2nd week of january for a detail, w/c would include wax of course. hirp lang ngayon kasi puro ulan...laging madumi tuloy tignan ung oto. tapos may mga light stains, maybe from the water dripping down from trees where i park everyday at work. anyway, will have it buffed nd glazed tomorrow at the shop where i had it painted. thanks for the reply sir...really appreciate it.=)
