I thought it was something like you can drive it after 6 hours and only wash it after 24 hours or something like that on my steiny stuff.

Well i drove mine home in the pissing down rain just under 6 hours after fixing the rear skirt on and it not fallen off yet!

it will be fine, its the moisture which makes it go off anyway, not air.

You think i'd be ok to wash my car today then Chris, i fitted the left skirt yesterday.

And Antz if you wanted to smooth them into the bodywork you will need to spray the side of the car as well as the skirts
