Dust off the vehicle body after you drive. Regularly inspect your vehicle for scratches on painted surfaces. Scratches on a painted surface may result in body rust. If you find a scratch, promptly repair it.

Your vehicle's paint requires up to 60 days from the production date to fully cure. During this time, avoid applying any wax or paint sealant-type products, as they could hinder 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 change of scratching the finish. It is absolutely necessary to keep the microfiber towels or pads properly cleaned and maintained before using on your vehicle.

Washing the Vehicle

Wash the vehicle regularly. Wash more frequently when driving in the following conditions:

• If driving on roads with road salt.
• If driving in coastal areas.
• If tar, soot, bird droppings, insects, or tree sap are stuck to painted surfaces.

Using High Pressure Cleaners

• Keep sufficient distance between the cleaning nozzle and the vehicle body.
• Take particular care around the windows. Standing too close may cause water to enter the vehicle interior.
• Do not spray high pressure water directly into the engine compartment. Instead, use low pressure water and a mild detergent.
