Hey all,
So my DMG Tremor got in an altercation with a Skid Steer a month or so ago and I just got it back from the body shop.

The shop did a great job and nothing was repaired all new parts. That being said I have have been looking at how long to wait to start washing it again. I've read that you should wait a week for first wash with fresh water only.
No soaps or waxes for 30-60 days and no high pressure or automatic washes for 90 days to let the paint cure completely.

Thoughts?
 
Well I gave it it's first post paint wash last night. Just a hand wash with no waxes or soaps used. Just a rinse and chamois dry.
 
I think we are going to need some proof you washed it, let's see some clean pics 😂
 
Speaking of fresh paint. I was behind a car today and couldn’t see that on the road, someone had a 5 gallon bucket of white paint that had spilled across both lanes and I drove through it with my Wild Green Tremor.

Man that sucks,
They've been doing repaving along my neighborhood for months so I am dreading the inevitable.
