I had a detailer tell me to wait for two weeks after waxing to use soap when washing my car... can this be right? He suggests rinsing with clear water and using a QD if needed.
 
Never heard of waiting 2 weeks before washing. Is he recommending a wax?
 
brand new paint - you can wax (pure wax, no cleaners)...Don't use a sealant for the first couple of months though...
 
That process would scare me as "clear water" to me just isn't enough to make sure all the dirt is off the car, especially after two weeks Then rub on a QD. What happens to all the missed dirt, is that being rubbed too? Sounds pretty swirly to me

wash often and consider using the same products (wax, sealants) wash in order to preserve the finish, as they are usually designed to work best together.
 
i know pinnacle bodywork shampoo / souveran/ and crystal mist work fantastic together!!
 
Never heard of it. I would wait at least a day for the wax to cure, but after that, it is safe to wash.
