Fresh paint, OK to wax??

FYI, I'm not using a power buffer either, just to be even more safe. The wax will be applied by hand, and taken off by hand, using a terry cotton cloth towel.

You know what, you're probably right. I will pick up some nicer wax, good idea.

I'm a stickler when it comes to my car, and it is worth spending the extra few $$ to get the good shit the first time. I have one of the cleanest 6th gen Accords on the road, and I want to keep it that way. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

I would vote no. Keep the car in a garage and out of the sun. But it's your car. Do as you please.

But if you must. Use Zaino.

Give your car to the salvage yard and go jump off a cliff.

After washing the car, I've decided I'm going to WAIT a few more weeks until I wax it. But the car sits out in the sun, since I do not have access to the garage.

Thanks for all the input guys. =)

fyi, don't use terry cloths for your car, use Microfiber towels. that me though, i hate using those towels and only touch my car with microfibers.

use an old T-shirt to buff. just make sure you choose a shirt that is nice and soft and doesnt have hard graphics all over.

Wax isn't going to hurt the finish in any way.

Wax is outdated IMO, unless you have a showcar. Use paint sealant instead.
