How long to wait before waxing new paint

As per title really, how long do I need to wait before waxing freshly painted panels?

I want to get some Collinite on there ASAP  :party:

Was the car/part put in the oven* after to dry?

Either way i'd give it about 4 weeks just to be on the safe side :happy2:

P.S Im glad your eager to use up all of my Collinite :signLOL:

* Not a food oven, but one of them things they put cars in to dry after being painted :confused:

As above, 4 weeks.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I'd assume they would I'll have to ask to be sure.

I've bought my own tub of Collinite I was so impressed with yours  :P
