Do's
- Do
wash your car frequently with automotive car wash soap, and follow
the directions carefully. This will help to maintain the lustre
of your new car finish.
- Do
wash salt off your new car finish as soon as possible, or rusting
could develop.
- Do
remember to notify anyone who cares for your car that the finish
is new, and to avoid waxing or adding special cleaning options
for the first 60 days.
- Do
make sure to notify your mechanic that your car has a new finish.
Mechanic covers, brake fluid and other strong chemicals can actually
destroy your new car finish.
Don'ts
- Do not
use household detergents to clean your new car finish. The detergents
strip the wax off the car. You can wash your car immediately upon
delivery. Please make sure you wash only with automotive
car wash soap, and follow the directions carefully.
- Do
not wax your
car for 60 days, because the paint needs to breathe. If you wax
your car within this timeframe, the wax will trap in solvents
and will prolong the drying time.
- Do
not choose the wax option or additive if you choose to
go to a professional car wash. This can prolong the drying process
to your new paint job.
- Do not
wax your car in direct sunlight. Waxing in direct sunlight can
bake the wax into the paint's finish.
- Do not
try to remove stronger stains from your new car finish, such as
tar, bug, and sap within 60 days. Please contact your body shop.
After 60 days, you may use a bug and tar remover.
- Do not
leave bird droppings to settle onto your new car finish. Remove
it right away with a damp rag. Otherwise, you will see that the
acid in the droppings will etch the paint finish.
- Do not
use car covers for 60 days. This would hinder the drying process
and could scratch the finish every time you take it off and put
it on.
- Do not
let any gas or oil residue settle onto your new car finish. Remove
it with a damp cloth.
- Do
not leave
fresh roadwork paint or tar harden on your new car finish. Call
the local body shop immediately so they can help you rectify the
situation.
- Do
not remove
any dirt or dust with a damp rag. If you chose to clean the car,
it must be done with a hose and soapy water. Otherwise, the dry
rag would cause the dirt particles to become abrasive and scratch.
- Do
not use a
broom or shovel to brush off snow or ice from your new car finish.
This will only the damage the paint. The best thing you can do
is take off the top layer of snow to lighten the load. Do not
go all the way to the finish.
