Trim care after painting?

[dsurls]

Hello,
I recently purchased and applied Wurth Satin Black Trim Paint to the trim (cladding, bumpers, grill, door handles) on my Nissan Xterra. It looks great! I have a couple of questions, however, about next steps:

• How soon after painting the trim can I wash the vehicle? I plan to use Meguiar’s Wash and Wax car shampoo.
• Is there anything I should or should not use to care and protect the trim paint going forward? For instance, some kind of “quick detailer” spray or polish or wax?

Thanks for all the help!

David

Hi David,

How's the trim paint project holding up?

Thanks for checking in, Mike. Just saw my son's Xterra last weekend after spending the entire summer in the hot Florida panhandle sun, and it looks great! The trim paint seems to be holding up very well.

Very pleased,

David

Hey thanks for the update David, this will likely encourage others thinking about tackling the same type of project.
