How to care for your new finish

Although your new paint finish is guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle, the care that you provide over the first 60 days of its application can help to ensure optimum appearance and durability.

• Avoid commercial car washes for 30 days. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface.
• Wash in a shaded area, never in the hot sun.
• Use a detergent designed for automotive washing, and rinse with cool water. Dry with a chamois or soft towel.
• Never "dry wipe" with a dry cloth. Dry wiping could scratch the finish.
• DO NOT WAX OR POLISH FOR 60 DAYS.
• Avoid extreme heat and cold whenever possible.
• Immediately rinse off tree sap, bird droppings and any automotive fluids, including gasoline with cool water. Sap from trees will spot a freshly painted surface, and bird droppings have a very high acid content.
• Avoid parking near sources of salt spray, heavy smoke or other industrial fallout.
