 | Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar
the finish and damage the surface. Wash the vehicle by hand with cool water
and a very mild car wash solution. Be sure to use a soft cloth or sponge.
|
|
Wash the vehicle in the shade - never in the sun.
|
|
Do not "dry wipe" the vehicle - always use clean
water. Dry wiping could scratch the finish. |
|
Extreme heat and cold are to be avoided. Keep
the vehicle parked in the shade whenever possible. |
|
Do not drive on gravel roads. Chipping the
finish is easily done in the first 30 days. |
|
Do not park under trees which drop sap or near
factories with heavy smoke fallout. Sap and industrial fallout mar or spot a
freshly painted surface. |
|
Trees are also likely to attract birds. Bird
droppings have a high acid content and will damage a freshly painted surface.
They should be washed off as soon as possible. |
|
Do not spill gasoline, oil, antifreeze,
transmission fluid or windshield solvent on the new finish. If you do...
IMMEDIATELY rinse off with water. DO NOT WIPE. |
|
Do not scrape ice or snow from the surface. Your
snow scraper can act like a paint scraper if the finish is new. Brush off the
loose material with a soft snow brush. |
