E erhayes Contributor : 2022CX5 PP Aug 15, 2012 #2 No, modern paint can be washed and waxed the day you bring it home.

Click to expand... A freshly painted car shouldn't be washed for about a week or two. Pretty sure your CX-5's paint is a couple months old.

LOL BTW, the Ferrari F40's paint was so thin you could see the carbon fiber weave through the paint.
