Re: paint - oh my!
According to PPG and Akzo Nobel (Sikkens) about 8-10 weeks curing time before
waxing. Now as for the orange peel, that's actually recommended. A small
amount of orange peel helps the paint resist chipping from small impacts
(i.e. stones, doors). Newer cars come from the factory with a small amount
of orange peel. Take a look, you'll see it (especially European cars). If
you've got orange peel that looks like a relief map of Manuel Noriega's face,
I'd worry. If not, it's OK.
