Been reading up on this and it seems as waxing a brand new car is okay. Back in the days 20 years ago it seems that It may have been true. Is this true?

It used to be you would have wanted to wait about 6 months before waxing, to give the paint ample time to cure. Not true any more.

Confusing posts, but yes it's fine. Check out Zaino if you're open to a good product.

Hey there..I am a newbie, but I think you have to understand his humor..

To me, he is funny as Heck, but it took me a while to get it...

I think he is just jerking your chain..But I cannot say what is in someone's mind.

But he is rudely funny.. I used to think...."Did he just say that " ? But he makes me laugh every time..

So don't take it personal...Again .02 cents from a newbie.

Damn, I am now on his Ignore list too..
