This is an area of great controversy. After say a month you can go ahead and seal it with whatever you want. I have several cars with fresh paint on them. The latest painted with Spies Hecker....... Painted over three years ago( NOT REAL FRESH). I waxed and sealed it the first month. Now it is over three years later. No PROBLEMS at all. NONE O. That is my finding anyway. I sand and buff new paint continually....mostly high end stuff. I use glazes and polishes....the body shop told me wax it in a month, after my own car was in an accident. Its really SUPER hard to wreck the hard clearcoats made today. Maintaining it wont hurt it. Paintxpert Again this is a subject of GREAT controversy. So again.....DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU!
