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

I seem to have gotten dry time and cure time associated with each other, what I get for posting at 5 in the morning. Anyhow the easiest way to tell if it's ready for wax is to place the car(or part) in a sealed off area like your garage for a few hours. If you come in and smell paint it's not done curing, if you don't you're good to go. Still 30-90 days is suggested, though not always needed. Like myself I barely had the week to let the car sit, by the end of the week there weren't any fumes or if there were it was minor. Still looks as good as it did two years ago. I should add those shops that did it within a weekend used waterborne paint and not conventional solventborne. Supposedly waterborne has a faster curing time, especially in conjunction with a heated booth.
