should be ok to wash and polish it straight away.
mine was waxed by the bodyshop after painting to give it a
protective layer before i got it back

Yeah they say a couple of weeks, but ovenbake and modern finishes. Should be fine.Why would you want to polish it? It will be freshly buffed and there is no need. Unless you want to do something similar to this guy.

That's what you call detailing!

More pictures at this link, (hope it works)
Painting done at a garage in Bristol , came and collected car and delivered back and still worked cheaper than getting it done locally. Still have to get 2 more done this year, ae21 and a Pug205 gti. Thanks
