Ok here's mine is it true to wait a few months before you wax your car after a paint job I heard this from some guy that said that at some big times car show on TV I think he's the brains behind all of Mothers products? Also have your used dry ice to remove a dent?

depending on the paint companies tds (technical data sheet ) u may or may not wax before or after 6 mo after fresh paint were spraying standox at the shop an painted a allover volvo on a tuesday an waxed it on friday i have heard of using a heat gun and dry ice to pop a ding out but never seen it done or have i done it we have a local pdr guy an hes d*#n good he uses lights an poles to see the dings an picks and rods to pick an peck them out seen him do a black altima hail job last year aluminum hood and deck lid i didnt have to paint a thing on it

I seen that done as well I was amazed with what they can do in bringing dents out it can even be a big dent we learn something everyday if not it's a wasted day.
