So I just had my ap1 painted Ferrari grigio silverstone. What are the do`s and dont`s of a freshly painted car? Should I wait a certain period of time before waxing/washing?

Proper hand washing should be no problem. NO car wash! I would wait a little while before applying a good sealant. I like Wet Diamond All Paint protection as it goes on and comes off very easy. Apply and remove gently by hand. No buffing. I appled some Wet Diamond on a Jeep painted about a month ago and had no problems.

I asked this after I had my hardtop painted, concensus was to wait about 30 days for sealant or wax work. I found some overspray on my hardtop so I gave it a good claybar to get it smooth, it worked well.

after a fresh paint job...

DO NOT

1) apply polish
2) abrasive products on the paint

Try to leave it outside to let the sun "bake" the paint

Rule of thumb, you want about at least two months before you really do touch the paint

well where Im at we have had some pretty shitty weather lately and the car has been in the driveway under a tarp to prevent rain/ice from getting on it. Im hoping this wont affect the way it "cures". We have sunny but cold weather coming up so hopefully that helps.
