When to wax for the first time

kabhatti · 04-19-2006, 10:29 PM

Hi All, I did a search but did not find an answer so here goes. I just got my 325i and am anxious to wax it. I believe I heard that it's not wise to wax so soon after the the car is born so the paint can heal?

I don't believe the 'detailing' done at the dealership was a decent wax job. So... when can I safely do the job right myself?

wax it the day you get it.

the paint is fully cured by the time it leaves the plant. a local repaint...is a different story.

get out there and wax it.
