Need serious advice from guys that know paint protection

I have a second series of questions. Why did you have to have your car buffed and waxed "often?" What are you doing to your paint that would warrant it needing so much buffing? Add to that, what makes you think that if you continue to do whatever is causing it to need that much buffing, that it still won't need that much buffing no matter what kind off protection you have applied?







Correction. He's going to wait until the person who has painted his car informs him of the curing time. When I paint my car, I use a combination of products that cure within a week. There are all kinds of combination that will yield different curing times. Only the painter knows how much time is required. That's why only the painter should tell you the curing time.



I just did my front fascia again to get rid of the rock chips. Curing time? 5 days.

Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that it was the service rep telling you 30 days and not the actual guy that did the painting. As Junkman mentioned, different combinations of different products can have different curing times.
