How soon after I purchase a new vehicle should I start a car care maintenance routine?
Your vehicle may look sparkling new but from the day it came off the assembly line the elements started to attack it. Protect your investment – begin as soon as possible. However, if the vehicle has fresh paint – it is advisable to wait 30 days before performing any car washing and 60 days before waxing or polishing. This allows the paint time to cure. Most body shops and collision centers specify this in their warranties.
