First off this isn’t really a bodywork thread, so no bondo repairing your rust on your EG/S13 talk…

Alot of good info can come outta this… curious to see if you guys have personal knowledge.

#1 - This isnt necessarily for me, but I’m painting my car soon (professionally) and what are some good tips/hints for the first couple months of fresh paint. Ive heard Touch free car wash/clay bar(i know i know the paint brand new, why would you bar it. Again, just heard…) /waxing/etc isn’t good for the paint at all.

#2 - Buffing (hard vs soft)/waxing (Traditional wax on, wax off vs non touch wax)/clay bar/. - Best product, both cost effective / results

#3 - Anything else not mentioned?..

i know claybarring is great for getting off overspray. not sure how long you have to wait after a new paint job to do it though, or if you have to wait at all.
