Default How long before I can wax??

I am having my 2005 Road Glide custom painted and was wondering how long I should wait before putting any sealant or wax on the new paint

Minimum 90 days, there are polishes that can be used during that period just make sure they are good for uncured paint.

Yeah, I'd say 90 days, too. When you do apply/remove the wax, do it lightly.

Minimum of 6 weeks, use polish at first and then wax.
