Ok here's a pretty stupid question I just got my truck painted. and well how long would you say i should wait to wash and wax it? The guy told me to wait 2 weeks to wash and a month to wax. Oh another question, how often should i wash and wax it? :assclown:

Wash it every week, weather permiting.
Wax it every 3 months.

Just a rule of thumb.:)

Depends on how clean you like your ride.

Some people wash their rig once a week.

Some people dont know what a wash pale and sponge is.*cough*5-8Chevy*cough*:D :D

My wife and parents always tell me I will wash the paint off, but I think they are lying to me!;) Washing helps keep your paint in good condition, keeping "fall-out" off the finish.
