I have recently been to get my car tidyed up by a panel beater. After a month of having it back, it has already started peeling, and has fish eyes and contaminents in the paint. I've since taken it back and they said they will repair it, but i've been told that its happened because of the type of wax i've been using
Just for future reference, is there any wax products that easily wash off when the car is washed? Or would be less likely to do this? Cheers -------------------- ![]() |

If they do it right they wont simply respray over the old paint. They need to rough the surface up with sandpaper at a minimum. If there are fisheyes and peeling on the current coat of paint then the same thing will happen with the new coat.
Prep work requires using a wax remover. You dont even want a fingerprint on the surface before you spray the paint. These guys didnt do proper work, likely they sprayed over the old paint without sanding it thoroughly. They need to remove ALL the new paint and the old paint to do it right. |
