How long to wait before washing a NEW car?

Hey.. I just picked up my new C300 last Thursday up here on Long Island. Pollen was ridiculous and took over my entire car (black). I was wondering when a safe time would be to send it through the car wash (I didn't want to do anything to the wax that is still on the paint).. Should I go today? or wait another week or two.

you could have washed it the first day you brought it home, the paint is cured at the factory and is ready to wash and wax before it even leaves the car assembly plant.
Reply:You can wash it anytime. The dealer probably did a detail wash before you picked it up, so there's always the option for you to wash it.



my curiosity is stirred - pollen that is black, most pollen that I've seen is yellow.
Reply:you can wash it right away .There is no wax on it unless the dealer or you put it on. If not you may wax it also...........UJN
Reply:you wait until the car is dirty, that is all. not time specification unless you just had the car painted.
Reply:Go today your car was painted months ago at the factory. Paint is fine.
Reply:It's ok to wash now.
Reply:wash it when needed...
