    Car painted

    Hey guys got my car back from the body shop turned out awesome. ( I will have pictures hopefully in a couple of days) anyhow would it be good to cover with a car cover or just leave it out side uncovered. Hope to clean out the garage soon.
    Thanks Bryan

    do not cover that car intill that clear coat is cured

    trust me it will take a while for it to fully cure

    it usually takes around a month to fully cure. i dont see what the problem with a cover would be but def. dont wax it.

    by covering an uncured clear coat it will leave marks and scratches from the cover rubbing and laying on it

    Rent a garage for the rest of the winter to keep the dirt off till it cures and also if you live near a busy street the salt dust will lay on it ?????

    this is your best bet. i made the mistake once of not letting the car cure before messing with it and im paying the price now
    dont wash it dont do anything just park it till spring and then give it a nice cleaning
