Thread: How Long do I wait untill I can wax and car wash after fresh paint???? Hello, Just had my car hood and front bumper repainted.....how long do I have to wait before I can wax my car or wash the car?????? I don't want to ruin a fresh paint job. thanks. I had some repainting done to mine a few months back. The shop told me to wait at least 30 days until waxing. They told me if at all posible to avoid the pressure washer for 30 days as well. As for hand washing they said I could go with that after 3-4 days. Your best bet is to ask to shop and go by what ever they tell you, that will avoid any unneeded warranty problems.

FAQs A – Brushes are a personal preference, but if you are looking for a smoother finish a synthetic brush is best and if you would like more texture, use a natural bristle brush. With the wax, a wax brush is always best as long as it is a lightweight one. Heavy wax brushes tend to over apply the product and ‘scrub’ too hard. Q – Can I use other sealers like polyurethane on this paint? A – Yes you can. Q – How long does it take to dry? How long should I wait before waxing after painting? A – It depends on the weather, but mostly the paint will dry within 2 hours, but sometimes much quicker. Actually, APC paint makes “watching paint dry” fast and fun! Q – How do I know which finish to use? How many coats will it need? A – It depends on what you are doing and the look you would like to achieve. Top Coat (3 coats for maximum protection) will give you a finish that is washable with a slightly damp rag and wax is more of a fine furniture finish.

Sears Headquarters Information Anyway, I finally bought the chalk paint and clear wax and got started. I did three coats of paint (with at least 24 hours of drying time in between) and yesterday I put on a coat of clear wax (with the uber-expensive wax brush). First of all you don’t have to wait that long between coats of paint. Depending on humidity, an hour or two should be enough.
