Post Paint Care

When you've just had your vehicle painted, it's important to maintain its appearance for longevity and resale value. Proper care of new auto paint involves refraining from washing or waxing too soon and avoiding improper cleaning methods that could inadvertently damage the finish.

Car Wash:

• Wash your car weekly after waiting at least two weeks post-paint job.
• Use a mild car soap and soft cloth or sponge to gently wash, ensuring thorough rinsing.
• Wait 60 days before applying wax or polish to allow the finish to fully harden and cure.

Protection Measures:

• Park your car in covered areas or a garage to shield it from extreme temperatures and potential debris like tree sap or bird droppings.
• Avoid gravel roads, especially within the first month post-paint, to prevent chipping.
• Never wipe your vehicle with a dry cloth as it may cause scratches; instead, use clean water for cleaning.

Additional Care Tips:

• Wash your car in the shade to prevent water spots and hand dry using a soft towel.
• Refrain from parking under trees to avoid sap and bird droppings on the paint.
• Regularly wax your car every three months to create a protective barrier against environmental elements.
• Be cautious with substances like windshield wiper fluid and gasoline, promptly rinsing them off if they come into contact with the finish.
• When removing snow or ice, use a soft snow brush gently to prevent damage to the painted surface.
