Waxing and polishing is recommended to maintain the gloss
and wet-look appearance of your paint finish.
1. Use a good quality polish and wax for your vehicle.
2. Re-wax your vehicle when the water does not slip off the
surface and collects over the surface in patches.

Further tips for the care of your new vehicle finish :
If your vehicle is washed in an automatic car wash, please
remember that the paint can be scratched by type of brushes,
unfiltered washing water or the washing process itself.
Scratching reduces paint durability and gloss, especially on
darker colours. It is suggested to wash the vehicle by hand with
cool and clean water using a soft cloth or sponge. Please do not
use soap but a car shampoo recommended by your dealer.
Please take the following precautions : Please take the following precautions :Please take the following precautions : Please take the following precautions :
Please take the following precautions :
1. Always wash your vehicle in shade, avoiding direct exposure
to sunlight during washing.
2. Dry wiping your vehicle may lead to the formation of
scratches and hence always use a soft cloth and clean water
while wiping your vehicle.
3. Always keep your vehicle parked in a well ventilated shade.
Exposure to heat with entrapped moisture promotes corrosion.4. Avoid driving on gravel roads, as the possibility of paint
chip off due to the impact of stones is high. If you are
driving on freshly tarred road, check immediately
afterwards for any stains & clean them.
5. External contamination in the form of sap or industrial
fall-out may mar or develop spots on a new finish. Hence
avoid parking your vehicle near trees, which are known
to drop sap, or near factories, which give out heavy smoke.
6. The acid content in bird droppings may damage the newly
painted finish and hence any bird dropping must be
immediately washed off.
7. The paint finish is susceptible to damage in case petrol,
brake fluid, liquid from car battery, oil, antifreeze,
transmission fluid or windshield solvent spills onto the
painted surface. In case of such a spillage immediately
rinse the affected area with water. Avoid wiping the area
far as possible, however if wiping is required, ensure that
you wipe the area gently with soft cotton cloth.
8. Avoid using sharp objects to scrap off tar or mud from a
painted surface as it may develop scratches or may peel
off the paint.
