Recommendations for the first 30 days

DO

  • Wash the vehicle by hand with cool water and a very mild car wash solution using a soft cloth or sponge.

  • Always use clean fresh water.

  • Wash your vehicle in the shade.

DON'T

  • Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface.

  • Do not "dry wipe" your vehicle. Dry wiping can scratch the finish.

  • Do not drive on gravel roads. Chipping the finish is easily done in the first 30 days.

  • Avoid parking under trees and utility lines which are likely to attract birds. Bird droppings have a high acid content and will damage a freshly painted surface. Also, tree sap can mar or spot a freshly painted surface.

  • Do not spill gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, or windshield solvent on the new finish.

  • Do not scrape ice or snow from the newly painted surface.


Recommendations for the first 90 days

DON'T

  • Do not wax or polish the vehicle. This will allow the finish to dry and harden completely.
