how do you guys handle that little bit covered by the roof spoiler when you're washing the car? i'm talking about the top of the rear 1/4 panel that is covered by the spoiler... dammit, i know there's dirt hiding under there!

my g/f said that if it's covered by the spoiler it must not be dirty.

question #2, i had a shopping cart ding repaired (stoopid people!!!) and obviously re-sprayed on the door. body shop said wait 90 days before waxing, seems excessive. anyone know about this?

The 90 days before washing is a usual thing when you get body work done. I believe that the paint has to cure, and if you wax too soon it prevents that process.
The body shop paint isn't dried at the high temperatures that the factory paint is.
