Caring for your vehicle's new paint job

We recommend that you follow these simple precautions the first few month's of your new finish's life:

In The First 90 Days...

• Do not wax or polish the vehicle - this will allow the finish to dry and harden completely. (do not use silicone-containing waxes or polishes.)

In The First 30 Days

• Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish or 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 or 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 days.
• Do not park under trees which drop sap or near factories with heavy smoke fallout. Sap or 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 loose material with a soft snow brush.
