You'll be very protective for a while mate. When that first stone chip appears......:arghh:. I remember @Mint having his done and within about 24 hours he'd gained a Stone chip the size of France on his bonnet! I think if I get my front end done again in the future I'd like to get it clear wrapped straight after.

You're right there mate,I think Sean said it takes three weeks for the paint to harden off so will have to be extra careful for a while.
Wonder what the cost is to have to bonnet clear wrapped as you said.

You wouldn't want to be doing that till the paint is fully hardened either as you need to use "tools" to smooth the wrap. Sean has done you a cracking job mate, you'll be like dog wi' two tails tomorrow.:)

Did not realize you could wash a car so soon after a respray, or is that an old wife's tale?
Yep, old wifes tale mate, even though its not fully cured it has been baked at 70c and is classed as "service hard"

Just had a thought, could you not dry out the 'damp' interior of a car like that?
Yes you could, just open the doors, its bloody hot in there, when we bake plastic bumpers off the car they have to be fully supported as they go out of shape
