It's good to know the information you gave about working with any freshly painted cars. I figured a new coat of paint requires special care. Good to know stuff, thanks, Scott
Scott, thank you for another great video! I have used M305 on fresh paint before but I have found that Wizards, Shine Master, to be a superior product for fresh paint. It is easy to use and leaves a super slick, shiny surface.
Very informative video, I was just wondering if the same rules apply to a car that had a door repainted and clearcoated at a dealership? It’s a brand new car and I would rather leave it dusty for 30 days or more and not ruin the paint and clear-coat. Thought I’d see if you had anything to suggest about that. Thanks again!
I wanted to be sure to comment and tell you how much I appreciate your videos. Specially the video on the sauce you use for black cars in the sun. You're a huge help. I hope everything is going well for you.
Thanks for explaining that Scott . You're my number one source for detailing info!
Great information - Just had my hood repainted - it`s good I have 2 cars
So we got my mothers SUV back from the body shop today. I asked the guys that did the work how long I should wait before I can wash and put a sealant on the paint. They didn't hesitate for a second, they said it was safe to wash now but DO NOT put a wax or sealant on it for 90 days. 90 days is on the long side, but they are probably being overly cautious since the work has a life time warranty as long as she owns the vehicle and they don't want to have to paint it again.
Scott thank you for another lesson learned.
Thank you, great video, I just had one of my P71 cars resprayed, it's been 31 days, I will wash her tomorrow. then try some of this M-305.
Perfect video! Explains everything on point
Thanks so much, i just painted my car and i had mixed advice. Most said dont. Some said do it. 60 days. Good to know.
nice simple video again Scott. thanks
Yeah, but what about the "clear coat protectant" at the touchless drive through car wash?.......
Great video Scott; I have a question: I recently had a vehicle repainted and the shop applied wax after two days. Is the paint ruined, and will it need to be redone? Or can the car paint eventually cure completely and harden? Does the was stop the curing process or simply slow it down?
old comment, but I will comment here for future users. It can damage paint, not always though. If waxing too soon, without outgassing of fresh paint, there is a possibility of poor bonding and flaking if the painted portion was ever damaged. There is a lot of variables that will contribute to this though. How much has cured, how well the painter took care of the first layer (sanding, primer, etc) and how fast it was applied. Slower between layers and amount, the better, but more time consuming which some painters rush.
Great Video As Always Scot! You’re always a straight shooter and very knowledgeable!🐟
Nobody seems to answer me 😢 how long do i have to wait to wash my car after clear coating the trunk of my car?
Thanks for that video, my painter said I can put ceramic coating on after a month, I think I will wait one more month
What about a motorcycle gas tank, I’m afraid to get gas on it without wax
Thanks,a was just about to wax after a 2 day paint job😁
thanks getting my truck out this week and your advice p am going to take
Hey I just got the whole right side of my car repainted the passenger front and back after this old do T-Bone me. nobody told me I wasn't supposed to wash or wax it I applied The chemical guy banana wax spray after taking it through Delta Sonic. I didn't know any better I thought I was doing the right thing is there anything I can to fix
just read ur comment. interested to know what was the outcome,? did it ruin it. or was it ok?
Learn something new everyday. I knew you couldn't wax fresh paint, but I did not know that one can use a glaze.
Not just any glaze...
It needs to be a breathable glaze and that's why I recommend m305
Hello I hope you are doing well! What is the difference between the m305 and #7 show car glaze? Are they both body shop safe and able to be applied to fresh paint? Please let me know and thank you for your time!
Any specific soaps I should use? Also should I avoid using a pressure washer?
Thank You ❤
Very good. I just freshly painted a new rear bumper, (Bumper is not on the car yet.) with all the paint steps including the clear coat. I was going to compound, then polish, can I use the mirror glaze after the compound and polish? (I Live in Mckinney Texas)
Scott, my question is this...On a brand new car and being just before winter in NY can I just apply a sealant for some protection until springtime when I can do a full paint prep?
Did you ever find an answer? I was hit and winter is about to start but I feel bad that I can my put any protection on my car
excellent knowledge
Do spray paint can paints out gas if they were cleared? Can I take it to a car wash or should I just wash by hand with soap and water? What soap would you recommend? Thanks in advance for your help.
Keep in mind there is a difference between a new car's factory paint (which is fully cured and able to be sealed/waxed, etc.) and auto body paint jobs (aftermarket if you will) needed due to some body work done on the car. The latter is what Scott is discussing.
Did I not mention auto body shop paint??
Sorry for the confusion
it depends on the type of paint used to repaint the panel or the entire car most body shops use acrylic lacquer to either spot paint ,paint the entire panel or the entire car now acrylic lacquer dries by evaporation so in four hours the paint can be compounded and the returned to the owner the lacquer will be fully cured in twenty four hours. now acrylic enamel dries by oxidation and will take sixty days to cure after the twenty four hours you can sand off the lacquer if need be do body work repair. however the enamel in twenty four hours will only be dry to the touch and cannot be sanded or corrected before sixty days unless an hardener for enamel is used like dxr80 so a sealant can be put over acrylic lacquer after twenty four hours
Did you watch the damn video?

Great Scott !
Hey Scott great video as always! I have a surplus of meguiars #7 show car glaze. Would that work as well?
Everytime I wet sand clear coat I'm not getting that cloudy haze look so I can polish it. Why is that? Clear coat I use is Raptor 1k Clear coat. What am I doing wrong? How long should I wait before I wrt samd clear coat?
Scott, just had my hood painted and my rear quarter panel. It’s jet black paint. My question is though, I was told not to wax or buff for 60+ days but on the ride home it was a 30 minute ride through backroads and I hit some bugs that left their debris on the hood, can I wash it off safely and if I don’t will the marks stay permanently?
thanks for this i got my car painted at the back last month whats the best way to wash the car with
66k subs! Lets make it 200k subs by Jan. Share scotts videos people
Scott what about products like 3d aca 505 correction glaze that corrects and leaves paint protection (montan wax)? They claim that are body shop safe but they have protection behind. Do you believe those are safe?
We love you too!!
Hi, I did apply wax on a newly repainted panel after two days. Now, the wax is there for 2 days. I just removed that wax to be able to mitigate the problem that may occur. Now, I want to know if removing the wax will now allow outgassing and may prevent further damage? Thank you!
What happen? Is good now
Thanks
How do you wash it while waiting for it to cure? I only have wash wax cleaner?
Hi sir i accidentally waxed my car a week after it was released from a repaint shop.. almost a week now after i applied the wax, does it affect the paint already?
Thank you
I sealed a car with jetseal. What should I do to strip the sealant. Had no idea about this?
We had to do a complete color change on a brand new ambulance at work. The thing is a monster. They are expecting this thing to look like a show truck when we give it back. I know we can buff it and make it look great but it will need a sealant to give it the proper look. And I know we cant use a sealant. Any recommendations?
Besides the McGuire's stuff there :p
Scott isn’t applying a glaze to fresh paint counterintuitive since fresh paint that is defect free should already have true shine?
not really, a glaze will help with gloss and shine and people like that until they can apply a wax or sealant
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing I suppose so
Hey Scott, thank you for the video. Does a PPF like xpel have the same time recommendation or do you have to wait more than 60?
You should wait 60 to 90 days for PPF film...
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing Thanks!
What kind of wax applicator did you use here?
Can I use meguiars ultimate polish instead ?
Thanks again Scott! Hey question, I have a 2000 Camaro, they’re famous for cracking dash pads, thankfully mine is good, what products do I use to keep it hydrated?
Hydrate plastic or vinyl??
Heat is the biggest reason for cracking..I would keep it clean and you can use 303 protection, 303 recommends applying at least once a month for maximum "protection"..
In Dallas I use a interior windshield shield because most car windshield can block uv light so having something on the inside of the windshield to block heat is vital to preventing cracking
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing oh ok, I thought the reason for cracking was the plastic/vinyl off gassing all of the petroleum products and becoming brittle and unable to expand and contract with temperature changes. I’m sure hydrate is the wrong term to use. Anyway I will try the 303, thanks Scott!
@@donstevens7847 out gassing is accelerated from heat:)
I think Scott is talking about a sun shield that you put inside your vehicle over the windshield when the car is not in use
@@edheinz4134 Yes...
Thank you my friend:)
What do they technically call them?...lol
Scott I just realized you are missing your pinky. As much as I see your hands in your videos and I never noticed it. How did that happen if you don’t mind me asking?
???
I can promise you I have both pinky fingers:)
Perhaps it's the camera and lighting..
I would hate to be missing any fingers!
@@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343 it looks like you sometimes bend your left pinky which makes it hard to see. 0:54 is an example, but there are plenty of times all 10 fingers are in view :)))
so it sounds like this really does nothing to protect it- it's purely for looks.
Again, a case of the more I learn the less I know. Scotts recommendation is pretty much widely accepted but if you watch Jason Rose Rupes training as uploaded by Obsessed Garage, "RUPES Product Series: E7", at the 20 minute mark there is a discussion about this very topic which claims paints have changed and are fully cured much quicker than even as recently as 10 years ago. So, once again, who knows! I don't want to step on Scott's toes but if you're told something different by your autobody guy, this explains why...
Jason Rose may be correct to some extent but not all body shops use the same paints..
Also applying a wax or sealant doesn't provide uv protection so his claim of the paint may be harmed if you don't apply a wax or sealant is interesting:)
The clear coat provides your maximum protection and waxes and sealants can't compete..
He could be referring to water spots or bird droppings as a potential harm to the paint and this glaze will help with that..
I have just seen in Dallas about 6 months ago damage to the paint from applying a sealant to early:(
It's a good rule of thumb to wait but if you feel Jason's recommendation works for you I will honor that..
I would precede with caution
If you watch Larry of Ammo NYC's video "most insane paint job ever" , at the 4:00 mark the guys doing his paint job also explain the "gas out" and "drying" process. It seems that it there are a lot of variables when it comes to this. In Larry's video his porsche was ready for clear bra and or waxing after seven days, but that was due to the process the painters used. My mother is getting body work done right now, and when she gets it back, I am going to err on the side of caution and wait 60 days before I put UFF on it. This is about perfect since the washing season will be pretty much over by then.
But in that video Larry does also say what Scott says, if its your standard autobody paint job, 60-90 days is still a good idea.
BigOldDog really depends how many coats where apply.what type of activator they use in some clear if not all activator effect cure time some may gas out in quicker some more the standard wait time is 3 months just to be safe... one thing i like to do is wet sand 800-1000 and let it gas out (quicker)
I think that's exactly what they were talking about. You'd (others) have to listen to it for yourself (themselves) which is why I gave the YT title and a time reference for those interested.
There are certain types of paints out there that you can wax almost immediately after. But then plan on adding $1,000 to your paint job. I know this because Ijust got through restoring a 1970 Dodge Challenger. They asked me if I wanted that kind paint and I told them they can keep it For the extra $1,000. And no, insurance companies will not pay for that type of paint...
You sound a whole lot like Howard Stern
Ask the painter who painted the car.
that could be tricky:)
QwikSS They usually know how to paint but don’t really have solid, manufacturer backed info to tell you. They’ll give you a general guideline.
Andres Rivera I think you’re right.
Why do white people like to talk unnecessarily so much? They must love the sound of their voice
.... Well I'm sure my drivers door will be fine, right? I already did it.
I think you should be fine:)
I wouldn't panic but follow the steps in the future..
Much love my friend
