Default bumper repaint question.....

guys,

just had my bumper repainted after the incident at the NE Audi meet. the guy at the body shop said that he used a very hard urethane type paint and that i could wax it tomorrow should i want to. i always thought you needed to wait weeks or months? thoughts??

Default It's still an epoxy which takes time to cure, if you want you can glaze it but you don't want to

seal it with wax. I would recommend leaving it be for at least 3 weeks and then if you *must* use Meguiar's #5 New car glaze or the tried and true #7 show car glaze. let it be for 2 months and then if you want to use Blitz that's fine, real wax only, no cleaner waxes or acrylic/polymer sealants.
