Im not sure, but do you have to wait to wash your car after you get something painted on it? I currently put a new bodykit on my car and got it painted. I got it back today and can't remember if I need to wait before I wash my car or if I could wash it as soon as I wanted. Thanks.

Seeing as how the clear coat has already cured enough for you to drive it, I would say that it is safe to wash it. Just make sure you use a gentle soap that doesn't leave behind oils, as they will affect the clear coat curing to its full potential.
