2020 Civic EX-L Hatch
Country flag
I've had my 2020 EX-L hatch about 6 weeks and it is currently in the shop getting painted. Apparently, I somehow got some corrosive exterior paint all over the front end. Grill, hood, side mirrors, pillars and even some on the roof. The dealer body shop is removing and re-painting all of the affected areas. I understand I should not wax or use ceramic sealant on it for at least 60 days after painting. This is my daily driver so I can't just park it. It will be in the garage at night but in an open parking lot during the day. I drive over 160 highway miles every work day.

What could/should I do to help protect the new paint while it 'cures'?

How should I clean off bugs/etc. during the first two months before I can wax or ceramic seal it? Can anyone recommend a safe cleaning/polishing product?
