My car is due back from paint shortly, I'm looking into protecting the finish. What are the recommended products and techniques to keeping it fresh as the day it left the booth?

I guess clear coat protection is in order?

Thanks for any tips!

 

Congrats on the new paint, this is the best recommendation....

Do not wax or seal for at least 30 days, allowing the paint to cure thoroughly. Keep it washed so not to allow any daily contaminants to stain the fresh paint. After this curing period has passed, you may then polish or wax and or seal your vehicles paint....

 

I used autoglym resin polish and the autoglym top gloss sealant and my car just come out of a paint job too the finish is amazing the sealant I had to leave for a hour before buffing off lovely small beads when it rains

 

And definitely let the paint cure as Innovative states

 

I'd actually give it about 6 months before putting a coat of wax on. After that time, any good wax will usually do.

 

Hi Sean,

Was it finished in a two pack clear coat?

A thorough wash, inspection, clay bar, Meguiar's M205 and a nice application of Meguiar's M21 will leave her corrected and protected..
