Cut & Polish A Car After Newly Painting Time Frame

[Ranga1977]

Guys,

Need your valuable info again. I had fully painted my car 1 week back and was told need to wait around 3-4 weeks to do cut and polish. Is it the standard or is it ok to cut and polish after 2 weeks? The thing is I’m planning to sell my car and since annual insurance/revenue license renewal is fallen in 2nd week of next month(august) hoping to try to sell it before that, but if have to wait another 2-3 weeks for cut and polish I might have to renew insurance/license. So what you guys think? What is the best solution?

Thx

If the weather was fine and the paint and the job was good there shouldn't be any valid reason to wait 4 weeks!

I've never had a full paint job in any of my vehicles and always the painters (Autoforce, Arabian) did the final finishing within 2 weeks at the most.

Thx mate.

Any one here who done a full paint with cut & polish?

Its ideal if you can actually wait 4 weeks- that gives the paint ample time to settle down. Even if the weather conditions are variable. But usually two weeks is ok in dry and sunny conditions

Off course if you are selling your car and if you do not care about the 2nd owner you can polish your car even withinin 24hrs of painting ( Only if booth painted and heated ). What will happen is the laquer you have will shave more and time to come paint may get faded quickly.

If not, its advisable to keep in the hot sun on average and polish it after 4-6 weeks,

Cut and Polish is a process of using different Water Sand papers from 2000 and above and using different Cutting and Polishing Liquids which will be applied and operated through a machine.

More the laquer has dried less it will shave off at the above process.

No Machang, i didn't even mention i'm planning to sell to the painter(bcos i was not) and ask him to paint normal way. According to him he had painted car in 4 layers(first rough paint layer to cover scratch marks which was coverd with paste and another 3 layers with orginal color of the car). No worried abt corrision, bcos none were there . I didn't want to sell the car with cheap paint work. So car's paint quality is 100%.
