Yes, just do not use any wax on it before 90 days: The paint on a newly painted vehicle is dry within an hour or so, you don't need to worry about insects or debris; however, the paint does require a significantly longer time to "cure". When Custom Paint and Body paints an automobile, we also polish it for you, so there is no need to wash or wax. Lamar Watson, Shop Manager, suggests "don't use any polish or wax for 90 days". Because the product he uses doesn't "seal" the paint, it allows the paint to shrink, expand and even change chemically, shedding solvents and thinners. Remember though, that any new finish will remain soft until the curing process is complete, so stay away from gravel and stones, which can easily chip the finish.
