I'm having a door of my car re-painted this week. I have been told by the body shop owner that I should not wax it for 90 days: the paint needs to cure and out-gas.

Is it okay for me to wash my car with Optimum No-Rinse?

Is it okay for me to quick detail my car with Optimum No-Rinse?

TIA.

Al

Perfectly fine. If paint can "out gas" through a layer of paint (clear coat over base coat) then there is nothing in No Rinse that could prevent that.

Hope that helps,
Anthony
