new car paint

[eli]

hi,..how often can a new paint job,..black...(6 weeks old) be waxed with NXT TECH WAX ?

[Mike Phillips]

Hi eli,

Welcome to Meguiar's Online!

As often as you like as it's non-abrasive and after 6-week, your fresh paint should be cured. Did your painter have any recommendations as to how long to wait?

A better idea would be to apply a normal coat of the Tech Wax first and then use the spray-on wax in-between normal applications of Tech Wax.
