Car Care
Since your new finish will require some special attention until it is cured, here are some suggestions for protecting your investment and maintaining its brand-new look :
In The First 90 Days:
DO NOT wax or polish the vehicle after your collision repair!- this will allow the finish to dry and harden completely.
Do not use polishes containing silicone.
In The First 30 Days:
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 when 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. If gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, windshield solvent or bird droppings soil your car, 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.
