Film Question
How long did you wait before you put film on your car. Does the paint have to cure for 30 days before you add the film? Does anybody know when your car is being built how long the paint has been on the car? I was told you should not put any film until the paint has cure. Please give me you input on my question. Thanks very much.

Lots of good advice in the Forum's "Car Care Discussion" section. Wax as soon as you want, but many here will recommend that you consider much longer-lasting paint protection options at every price point. I strongly recommend you research the options and protect your new C8 as soon as possible.
