Greetings all! My Mach was recently repainted (March 24th, was taken down to metal and completely repainted) and I was wondering if there's any tips for caring of brand new paint? Also, what's recommend for Competition Orange?
Tips for detailing new paint?

Wait a few months to wax or seal to allow the paint to fully cure. You can use Meguair's #7 till your face turns blue until then for shine and protection.
Don't touch it. But I your itching to repair swirls and marks the body shop may have left behind it needs to have no silicon in it. Companies such as menzerna, HD, and meguiars are all body shop safe. DO NOT WAX you will ruin the paint. Unless it was baked, then that changes everything.
this. its ok to cut it with compound that is body shop safe as stated but DONT WAX IT! wait 90 days at least depending on the paint used
As I stated above, Meguair's #7. It has oils that are beneficial to new paint. No wax or cleaners, think protein for paint.
help a newbie out here, doesn't the clear actually protect the paint? does the clear need to cure for a while? what about a new car?
A new car paint has been baked and is okay to detail and apply waxes, sealants, and coatings.
Guess I should of mentioned, the paint was baked and they double cleared it as well
only double!? should have had it 5 times cleared!! LOL
Shoot, down here in FL you should have had like 5 coats of clear. More is better down here lol

The day my daughter's came home the painter said it was ok to seal and wax it.
