Cont.
I gave my car a good wax coat.
But today I have been told by a friend that your not supposed to wax an area on fresh paint! "You should at least leave it for 3 months"!!!! He also said that after a while that particular paint will fade!
IS THIS TRUE?

he says not a lot will happen but because you have effectively sealed in the paint with wax then any thinners and chemicals left in the paint will take longer to dry so the paint will take longer to cure completely.
Don't worry too much you have not done any damage!!

Thanks loads Ralph.
Last question I would like to say,
Is it bad to cover up your impreza in a closed garage due to long use of vehicle?
