Default First Wax
How long after production is the paint of the Vette cured enough for the first waxing? I have been away from GM vehicles for 17 years. So, I have no idea how long it takes for GM paint to cure. Got my baby clean after first hand wash and ready for some wax.

Thanks,

Gburg

Factory paint is fully cured by the time you get it.
