uuCleaning uExterior Care
Maintenance
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.
Your vehicle’s paint requires up to 60 da ys from the production date to fully cure.
During this time, avoid applying any wax or paint sealant-type products, as they
could inhibit the curing process and affect the paint’s durability.
You may polish the paint during these 60 days if the polish does not contain any wax
or paint sealant ingredients. Use only clean , high-quality microfiber towels or pads,
as they are a softer material with less chance of scratching the finish. It is absolutely
necessary to keep the microf iber towels or pads properly cleaned and maintained
before using on your vehicle.
If you get gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery fluid on resin coated parts, they
may be stained or the coating may peel. Prom ptly wipe it away using a soft cloth and
clean water.
Wipe using a glass cleaner.
