It is recommended that you not wax or polish the vehicle. This will allow the finish to completely dry and cure. (When you are ready to wax, do not use silicone containing or super polymer containing waxes or polishes) Today's finishes do not need such extreme protection and if your vehicle were involved in an accident, the removal of such waxes would be time consuming and expensive.In the first 30 days after a new paint job -
It is recommended that you not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface. Wash the vehicle by hand with cool clean water only. Be sure to use a soft cloth or sponge.What should I do after an auto accident?
Wash the vehicle in the shade only - Never in the sun.
Do not dry wipe the vehicle... always use clean cool water. Dry wiping can cause scratches.
Extreme heat or cold should be avoided. Keep the vehicle parked in the shade whenever possible.
Do not drive on gravel roads. Chipping the finish is easily done in the first 30 days.
Do not park under trees which are known to drop sap or near factories with heavy smoke fallout. Sap and industrial fallout can mar or spot a new finish.
Keep in mind that trees attract birds. Bird droppings have a high acid content and will damage a new freshly painted surface. If it happens, wash the area off as quickly as possible
Do not spill gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid or windshield solvent on the new finish. If you do...Rinse it off immediately with water. Try not to wipe the area. If you must do so gently.
Do not scrape ice or snow from the surface. Your snow scraper will act very much like a paint scraper on a freshly painted surface.
Use common sense... If you think some substance or action may be hard on the paint, it probably will.
