    My car came out of the spray shop today!(washing&polishi

    My car came out of the spray shop and im very pleased with the job, I have some pics but waiting on a pc with usb ports that work. I found a place to put the car which i thought was going to be really hard, lucky at my new house my cousin lives with her boyfriend about 8 doors down and only have 1 car. So i can keep it on there till MOT/Taxed and our new driveway gets built!
    They gonna hate it when i start changing breaks etc on their driveway lol!

    Only thing is its really dusty and shit and i wanna clean it, how long should i wait for the paint to harden or whatever it is before i can give it a clean and polish?

    The longer you leave the paint before you wash it the better.

    In 13 years time it will have rusted again then will have had to take it back to the sprayers and start the process again. It could possibly mean it never gets washed. :(

    May give it a week then :( As hard as it will be. :(

    if its dusty just spray it off and dry it, dont use a sponge or a chamois though or youll just scratch it
