Paint Wax Options

[Liam_c]

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 They have told me not to wash the car with wash n wax products or wax my car after washing it for a few weeks before bringing it in to respray.

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

Its the painter or prepers job to clean the panels properly before painting no matter whats be used on it. This should be done about 3 times before colour goes on at different prep stages. If the original surface is shiny where the paints peeling of it hasn't been sanded properly. The information here about applying waxes and polishes over uncured paint (3 months) is correct.

Yeah, he did say it was their fault. I had purposely not washed it for about a month after the respray because of the curing. But when it goes back ill avoid it for 3 months.... Somehow I only noticed the damage about 2 - 3 weeks after the respray. I'm a bit guttered because my car looks horrid up close so im looking forward to getting it fixed
