Had fresh paint put on my notch last year and I just got it back last weekend from having a full cut and polish done on the paint. What a difference!!!

Now she's officially ready for summer.

That thing is so shiny. Is that something like the 3M clear bra below the door and rear bumper molding?

Looks great! But why did you have to already get a cut & polish after only one year of getting it painted?

I was told it's a good idea for any new paint job.

What's so clever about the license plate? I guess I don't get it oh-fox-givin

@Mr. Snrub If the shop did a quality cut and polish when they painted it then it shouldn't need another one so soon. Regardless of that, car looks awesome! I also hope you keep the windows tint free, I love the look of clear windows on certain color cars.

Its better they didn't and you waited. I waited a few weeks with mine. Even baking it the paint isnt fully cured for a while . Looks great

For the general public knowledge I'll say this,

For those that want to wait for the paint to cure a while longer, you're right, the paint will cure further and that is optimal however really unnecessary. For your average B/C paint job you wouldn't know the difference by looking at your paint if you baked the car and cut & buffed shortly thereafter or if you waited several months to a year before doing so. Only way I'd wait is if it was a high dollar collector car/show car with a $15-20k paint job involving many layers of primer and base, textures and lots of clear coat. Now as far as polishing/waxing goes, you should wait at least a couple months.

Yeah waxing a fairly new paint job doesn't work very well. Ask me how I know. Lol.
