Start with the handover advice
The repair team knows the preparation and finish route used on your vehicle. Ask about washing, products and any follow-up checks before you leave the workshop.
That guidance should take priority over generic online advice because it relates to the work completed on your panel.
- Ask when and how to wash the affected area
- Ask which products suit the finish
- Check what to look for around the repaired panel
Protect the wider finish
Paint protection and polishing discussions can be useful when you want to maintain the surrounding finish, but the right option depends on the vehicle condition and the work already completed.
A workshop assessment can help you decide whether to discuss protection, correction or a future repair.
