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 rolleyes.gif 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 biggrin.gif

Wash the car with Dawn before, during, and after sanding. Then can follow up with Duplicolor prep wipe right before laying down primer. Dawn is also good for stripping wax build-up off a car then following up with a fresh wax coating.
