How long before paint is cured

[Don50BMG]

How long should I wait before putting products on my paint IE. wax or sealant.

 

[RADA]

I asked the same question a while back.

30 days from painting was what I was told.

Factory paint cures much more quickly than resprays. You can safely treat a new vehicle as soon as you get your hands on it.

Body shops do not use the same processes so you want to wait 60 days or so to allow it to outgas and finish curing.

I was a professional detailer for over a decade, so you definitely don't have to listen to me but I'm also not just some rando talking out of my ass.

I assume this is for ppf too? My hood and fender have to get resprayed.

Yes. Before putting anything on body shop paint you'd want to wait the 60 days or so.
