Fresh paint question
About a month ago I had the back of my car painted. How long should I wait to do the Zaino process? Thanks for your input.

)I was just glad to get my car back. However, I will email zaino and find out from them. Thanks for the idea.

Zaino can be applied in as little as 7 days.
I had a black hood repaint, and on day 7 did the deed - it was the best damned looking part of the car.
paints are cured through a catalytic (chemical) process - they dont off-gas like the old days . . .
its good to go now . . .
and if you ask most shops about zaino, they'll go HUH?
and tell you 30-90 days - anywhere in that range....

Here is the response I received from Sal:
There's alot of misinformation about waiting three months for the paint to cure.
I am a custom painter by trade. I am very familar with Dupont, PPG and all the other paint manufacturers.
The most I personally would wait on fresh "aftermarket body shop" paint before polishing with Zaino Show Car Polish is 1 week. That's more than sufficient curing time.
Zaino contains no wax, silicones or abrasives.....
The new paints are catalyzed. A chemical reaction cures the paint. The older lacquers and enamels needed time for the solvents to release. This is not the case anymore. Believe me if that paint need 3 months to dry than it will never dry.... Just the facts.
This is basically what Homer2 also said.
Hope this helps.
