Hi, just a quick question

My car has been keyed and booked into a bodyshop for that to fixed. should i clay bar my car before it is sent to the bodyshop or after when i get it back?

also can i polish the sprayed area afterwards or am i meant to leave the area for a while?

I wouldnt worry about it mate as they will sand it down and prep the area so it will be ok...

Also you got to let the paint dry for like a couple weeks... so dont wax or polish it if you can for that time.. :thumbsup

FinishKare do a bodyshop safe wax... check here mate...

my cars just come out of the bodyshop and i was told i could do pretty much what i like to it with regards to polishing and waxing, i left it a week anyway then applied poorboys blackhole topped with vics concours wax and its fine! incidentley this is the second bodyshop thats told me its safe to polish/wax straight away!
