    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.

    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
