    So got a body kit fitted along with getting both bumpers painted on my Lexus and want to add a bit of protection to the paint? How long roughly will the paint take to cure before I can apply some wax/sealant?
    Any recommendations on best products to use also?. Thanks

    The average is 30 days but best to ask your painter.

    What do you want from the protection.
    Ultimate durability / the best appearance?
    Colour is the car?
    Budget?

    Just good protection more than anything.
    Antimony blue lexus 2004.
    Well in my shed now I have auto gylm ultra deep shine polish, meguiars deep crystal carnauba wax, turtle wax creme wax (which I hate) and meguiars tech wax 2.0.
    I also have various menzerna polishes I got with my D/A at Xmas time! Anything here up to the job?!
    I don't mind spending €20-30 on something decent if you can think of anything...

    Either of the Meguiar's waxes will do the job when then time comes! ;) They'll do a decent job!

    Lots of Collinite 845 love around these parts. Not sure how they compare to the two Meguiars waxes you mentioned but 845 is quite good
