Wax shop in San Jose

Ask the shop that repainted it. My shop told me not to wax it for 6 months, IIRC.

My shop said "45 days no car wash, no wax." ?

No problem washing it after 45 days but I wouldn't hurry to wax it, probably best to wait at least 2-3 months but what is this with people thinking that they have to PAY someone to wax a fender?! Do they not have the ability or have they been drinking the koolade so long that they really believe EVERYTHING is best if you PAY FOR IT?

Sorry, I just don't understand, Chris

Do you do your own brain surgery? I'd let a specialist, they know more than I ever will about brains.

If you were building a house, would you hang your own dry wall? I'd hire one of those crews that will hang the whole house in an afternoon. It is a whole lot cheaper than me doing it.

I can change my oil, but for the last 12 years, I've paid someone else to, because I didn't want to get dirty, get the drive oil splattered, or buy the tools.

I can easily understand someone not wanting to wax a car. It is a lot more work than changing oil. A specialist will probably do it faster and better than someone who has never waxed before.

That said, recently I decided to start doing a lot of my own auto work again for the security that I know it is done right. If I could find a motivated mechanic, I wouldn't.

I could wash it almost immediately, just not wax it. I guess it may have to do with the type of paint or the thickness at which it is applied.
