wait 90 days before waxing. thats what i would tell all my customers, that way you can insure all the solvents have escaped.. otherwise you will encounter problems that you dont want to deal with...as far as care....wax it as if it were a car...meguries NXT works very well or use system one for those minor scratches... and always remember as with anything you get what you pay for!!!! good custom paint is NOT cheap!!!
