Caring For Your New Paint

How Do I Care For My New Paint Repair?

RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS IN THE FIRST 30 DAYS

DO

• Wash the vehicle by hand with cool water and a very mild car wash solution using a soft cloth or sponge.
• Always use clean fresh water.
• Wash your vehicle in the shade

DO NOT

• Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface.
• Do not "dry wipe" your vehicle. Dry wiping can scratch the finish.
• Do not drive on gravel roads. Chipping the finish is easily done in the first 30 days.
• Avoid parking under trees and utility lines which are likely to attract birds. Bird droppings have a high acid content and will damage a freshly painted surface. Also, tree sap can mar or spot a freshly painted surface.
• Do not spill gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, or windshield solvent on the new finish. ·
• Do not scrape ice or snow from the newly painted surface

RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS IN THE FIRST 90 DAYS

DON'T

• Do not wax or polish the vehicle. This will allow the finish to dry and harden completely.
