I have had a look around but cant find anything that mentions how long after painting a car you should leave it before washing it? It's celluose, painted with a compressor and with no laquer. Left to dry naturally.

Thankyou everyone!

The paint is 'MATT BLACK' and i got it from 'JAWEL PAINTS'. They have stores all over the place. Oh yeah, the trick to getting the right finish is to use 6 parts paint to 4.5 thinners! Took me ages to get that right! It has a shine otherwise!

Cheers,
