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

Got the car back today, all is fixed Time to wait a month to wax it... This is gonna be hard to do  Although it is winter, so theres not really much point in cleaning it

Per my above post, keep it clean and hit it with a pure polish to give contaminants something to stick to other than your new, soft paint. |

Great... New problem...
On the a-pillar (they resprayed it again) has already started delaminating  Theres not much i can do as i accepted it and i had a good look over yesterday when i got it.  Its only slight, but it wont take long for it to completely delaminate... I have got one of those scratch/clearcoat pens and ran it over the edge of the clear to see if it will help seal it (as its only minor) Fingers crossed it will work  -------------------- |
