New paint and Zaino

[popbigguy]

Had the luck of a deer go across and scratch my hood (SIC). The shop where I got it fixed says to wait 90 days before waxing. What does everyone think? Do you have to wait 90 days to apply Zaino to a new paint job? Waiting 90 days is going to kill me!

This is Sal Zaino's advise on your situation, he has posted this many times:

Sal's response.

There's alot of misinformation about waiting three months for the paint to cure.

I am a custom painter by trade. I am very familar with Dupont, PPG and
all the other paint manufacturers.

The most I personally would wait on fresh "aftermarket body shop" paint before polishing with Zaino Show Car Polish is 1 week. That's more than sufficient curing time.

Zaino contains no wax, silicones or abrasives.....

The new paints are catalyzed. A chemical reaction cures the paint. The
older lacquers and enamels needed time for the solvents to release. This is not the case anymore. Believe me if that paint need 3 months to dry than it will never dry.... Just the facts.
