So I'm working at used cars dealership, and after I'm done with buffing painted parts, they are asking me to buff the whole car. Usually I'll just quickly run it with polish, and I need something at the end to increase the gloss, like some spray wax. I had best results with f11 top coat, quick spray and wipe, and it really increased the depth , like I added another coat of clear for the whole car. But what Im afraid that I have freshly painted parts there, and it shouldn't be waxed for a good 3 months. Can you recommend something safe for fresh painted parts, but will also make it look better? I don't care if it will wash in 3 days from rain. Basically need it for photos.
Thank you
 
Polish with 3D 505. It’s a light polish with built in protection. It has montan wax in it which is safe for fresh paint as well. You can also buy straight montan wax from them. But the 505 kills 2 birds with one stone. And it smells like sour apple! I also use a lot of 3D’s bead it up spray on my used cars if I’m looking for a quick wipe down.

the recommendations above are great on the wax side of things, with that said your f11 should be just fine and probably last a little longer than a typical wax. f11 is an si02 detail spray. its basically ceramic coating without the coating. that stuff breathes and should be fine on fresh paint. 3d has a couple of these. the original one is bead it up which you can get by the gallon for about $38. works great but not the best i have used for increasing the shine. they have some newer ones in the glw line that probably do more for the shine than the original.

Thank you!!!!
 
Just bought 505 and bead it up for quick buff and shine around the car. Thank you everyone for help
 
agreed. its something like f11 and hydrosilex but not quite as good but they are also about 8-10 times the price. once a month i wash my truck and just give it a quick wipe down with the bead it up and its fine. works great and way easier to apply than wax. i can do my whole truck in 5 min.
