A good coat of automotive body wax helps protect your vehicle’s paint from the
elements. Wax will wear off over time and expose your vehicle’s paint to the
elements, so reapply as necessary.
If you get inverter coolant or battery fluid on resin coated parts, they may be stained
or the coating may peel. Promptly wipe it away using a soft cloth and clean water.
