As much as it upsets me, My S was hit last week by a 90 year old woman in a buick. My door was open..and i reached over to grab my bag, and as i stepping out she hit my door. Did not cause a whole lot of damage, she caught the last 1/2 in of metal on the outside of the door, but it was enough to peel up about 3 inches like a banana. Ive only had my S for a month and it makes me down right sick. Its in the body shop now getting a new door. My question is this: I just ordered zaino before the accident, ive always heard that you should wait several months to apply wax after new paint has been put on the car. Is this true?

thanks,

mark

 

You should ask this question to the guy who is going to paint the door. I think most modern day baked on enamel paints don't need to cure for months, maybe only several weeks.

 

i agree with xviper... i would also ask if they will be clearcoating the part that they repair (the rest of your car has a clear coat on it). if clearcoated, they you can wax right away-
in any case, the person who is painting the car is the best person to ask.

 

as long as they are using current paint technology, it will be zaino-able in 7-10 days . . . . .

todays paints dry by chemical reaction . . . you still are better off waiting on a wax. but again, zaino can be 7-10 days . ..
