I was always told you have to wait 30-90 days to wax a new paint job depending on manufacturer. Was the paint heat cured?

I'd also wait off waxing for at least 1-2 months.

Just for the fun of it I fabbed up my idea. The front fender flare extending out bothers me so I put the black back on the doors and then also the bumper areas.

I just saw this post. I like the look of the white SX/4., especially with the black trim.
