If you have had a respray done, you may need to let it cure before applying wax products. Ask the shop that did the respray. If it`s been more than three months, you should be safe. Good luck!

Cheers for the offers of help.
my car hasnt had a respray yet, im waiting to get some more stuff finished on it then doing it. But yeah, i will ask em about curing. does that mean the paint will be softer, and more easily pick up stone chips etc in the first 3 months?

LOL, rich, you follwing me?
Im getting the respray in the same colour,but ive got a new bonnet, new boot, new side skirts, and am taking all the locks and indicators off the car, and a new spoiler and grill and rear bumper, so its as cheap to have the car resprayed as the bits!
and of course, once its new paint it will be sooooooo much easier to clean.
