How long to wait before waxing truck?
How long should I wait before waxing a brand new truck? I have always heard to allow three months so the paint can properly cure. Whats the right answer. PLan on using Zaino products.

From the factory you can wax it immediately. If you just had it painted at the body shop then wait 2-3 months.

From the factory, the paint is as hard as it's ever going to get when it rolls out of the curing ovens. Wax on, Wax off.
