This paintjob has cured for 60 days, with a recommended window of 30 days by the gentleman in the bodyshop who did the work. I guess I should have mentioned this, I thought it was quite clear. The paint is done outgassing. Its not my first time on the internet, nor on this forum, nor my first time using google or search engines lol... Though thanks for the cpt. obvious jambalaya.

Now that that has been cleared, my question still stands.

I have an appointment in two weeks to get my fresh paintjob sealed/glazed whatever you call it.

In the meantime I need to drive the car, and where I live there are a chit ton of elements on the road (sand and stuff mainly).

I want to have the paint as protected as possible for now so its in its best condition by the time these two weeks are up.

My intention was to 2 bucket wash, clay bar, and wax it once per week for the next two weeks. Is that a good preventative measure for now?

Please dont tell me to "leave it as is and wait for 2 weeks" because this bumper was stripped of all everything using alcohol the other day. It was going to be wrapped, but I decided to go a different route. There is aboslutely no protective layer of anyting on it so SOMETHING needs to go on it before i hit the road and expose it to elements.
