Cups first wash and wax after getting sprayed

Car looks superb. Still pondering weather to get my bump strips colour-coded. A 90% time though I prefer the cups black bump strips over the colour coded ones.

ive actually been thinking the same i liked the contrast between white and black but i thought id like the white better im actually considering getting them carbon wrapped as i think that might look better

Not sure on the wrapping tbh. I think you'd have to get a glossy finish on the wrap to pull it off.

The black cup door handles also look much better than the silver FF efforts tbh.

Looks good mate.

I think it depend on how the paint was cured, if it was baked and not air dried then no problem.

However its more the waxing than washing that should be avoided so I have been told, something to the with the solvents in the paint evaporating and if waxed it stops this from happening.

That thread is 7 years old and mainly refers to solvents, virtually all paint is water based now.

So you know for sure that waxing causes no problems on freshly painted paint then?

I would rather air on the side of caution than risk damaging the paint, this has been talked about on DW before and people came to the conclusion it was best to leave it a few weeks before waxing.
