Can You Wash the Car Right After Painting?
1 Answers
It is recommended not to wash the car immediately after painting. Below is relevant information about washing a car after painting: Painting in a paint booth: If the painting is done in a paint booth, the car can be washed as soon as it is driven out, as the car has already stayed in the booth for 3 to 4 hours. Painting at a professional shop: If the painting is done at a professional shop, the car can be washed once the staff hands it over, as professional shops follow proper painting procedures, and washing after baking the paint will not cause any issues. When painting is completed on the same day: If the car is painted and picked up on the same day, it is advisable to wait 2 days before washing. Ensure sufficient ventilation and humidity; the car can be washed after 6 to 7 hours. If the paint dries properly, the car can be washed after two days.
