I had a minor crack fixed and was wondering how long before I can wax it? The crack was only1/2 and inch, but I am picky like that when it comes to my truck. The crack was on the top of the bed rail, right in front of the bed cap.

 

Did a paintshop do it or your did it?

If you want to be safe, then go 30 days.

 

The body shop did it on Jan. 3rd. I think I should be alright, but htey said 60 - 90 days. I think I will go ahead and wax it this weekend.

 

You could put some polish on there, like Meguiar's #7, until you feel comfortable that you can wax it.

 

I got mine outta the body shop towards the end of January and they told me 2-3 months, more towards 3 months because of the cold weather.

 

My body shop recommended 6 weeks and that was in the summer. The paint really does need a little time to cure since most body shops don't bake it. I would wait at least 3-4 weeks before putting wax on it, even though that is hard to do.
