Spoiler Paint Question

Hello everyone. I am new to this site in the past few weeks. I recently put a spoiler on my O1 max and love it. I purchased an aftermarket spoiler locally and it was half the price of the nissan spoiler at the dealer. It matches the pearl color perfect. It looks identical to the factory one and the paint is baked on like Nissan does it. One question.... The told me that I should wait 90 days to commercially wash my car or power spray it so the paint has cured well. After I spoke with them again, they said I could wash the car in a few weeks. Anyone have any input because I usually wash my car once a week and the weather is terrible in Ohio.... Thanks for any input......

the 90 day mark is true. you can handwash the car until your 90-day mark comes to an end. and if during that time handwashing your baby ain't giving you pleasure, be my guest and use the gasoline station carwash to give your new paintjob a nice scratch here and there.

Thanks for the input NisMo. I appreciate your honesty. I don't intend on commercially washing my car because I do hear horror stories about damage to some cars. I will wait the 90 days and hand wash my baby.
