Kevin, do you put the rollerblades on when you polish your car?

anyone have an opinion on paint curing time? I had always heard you shouldn't wax a new car right away because it actually takes the paint several months to cure. Waxing it seals in the chemicals that would normally evaporate off, and instead of having a nice hard paint, it can stay soft. Is this irrelevant for a Porsche paint? Maybe this just applys to my car restoration projects...I don't bake it on.

OH, and I learned a secret. On the clear-bra, it's best to wax w/ the foam by hand, wait til dry, then wipe off. Otherwise, it creates a lot of swirls (using the machine).

I can see little bits and pieces of the wax, and I didn't really want them to hang around like that in gaps that I can't clean.

Kev..I bought a Porter Cable orbiter from Griot's but have always been afraid to use it for fear of scratching the car.
Could you give us amateurs a step by step lesson as to how you put the wax on then take it off with the orbiter.. I have the tools and the Best Of Show wax, but no knowledge. Thank you VM and your car looks abolutely first class.
