Hey All!

:oops:- I hope I am posting this in the correct area -:oops:

My pops painted my car recently (isn't it pretty?) and he's told me that I need to wait around 45 to 60 days to wax it. Until then, I guess will keep using his 3M Hand Glaze - that ok?

My other question has to do with the rubber trim, like around the sunroof and windows. I was told that putting ArmorAll on it was a no-no. If this is true, what do you all use?

Thank-you for your help.

As long as the temp is good you should be able to wax it in 30-45 days... Armor All has silicone in it and it will break down the rubber over time.. It is best to use something like mirror glaze #40 rubber and vinyl cleaner.. You can use it for tires and everything
