    Be sure not to use soap around the front bumper for a while. When the bugs aren't so attracted to it anymore is when I'd start washing it with soap.

    i have painted about 8 car's, 20 hood's, 6 bike's, and alot of other parts and i have never had any problems washing them 1 or 2 days after i painted them. if anything needs wet sanded and buffed. i do that the next day.
