Im picking up my Black/Willow G sedan at the very beginning of the year, and im getting my zaino right around then, so i was wondering how long i should wait before i start waxing. Thanks

 

I would say immediately. The paint from the factory is already cured, and by applying your zaino, you'll be protecting it from the start. Plus, it's a good excuse to spend 7+ hours inspecting and admiring your new sedan. Good choice on black/willow, that's what I wanted, but rare w/ a 6MT.

I "DAWN"d then Zaino'd the day after I got the car. Like Drew said, the paint is already cured from the factory, so no waiting period. Welcome to the gang!

Thanks for the info guys, and ill be "zainoing" it hopefully soon.

 

if you dont mind me asking....what does "crued" mean???

 

They said "cured", not "crued". Whenever you get your car painted, either for customizing or from repair, you need to let your paint cure before you apply wax to it. Usually it's a few months. The factory paint has already cured by the time it gets to us so there's no need to wait. If the car was built in the states then maybe you might want to wait a month or two but we don't have that problem.

Thanks Russ...

 

Black/willow--you lucky b*stard! heh heh. That's what I wanted (or Black/graphite) but could not find anywhere. Oh well, I'm adjusting pretty well, despite that.

Russ,
How long does the trip from Japan take, do you know? My car had been waxed by the dealer, since it was in the showroom!

I don't know an exact number of days but my car was built in early March and it arrived in mid-May.

Oh, that long, well, that makes sense I guess, plus they probably sit on the dock for a while as well!
