How Do You Recommend I Wash My Car After Receiving New Paint?

Three to four weeks after receiving new paint, wash the vehicle using cool water, a very mild cleaning solution, and a soft cloth or sponge. It is recommended you wash your vehicle in the shade.

Chipping the finish is easily done in the first 30 days. Stiff brushes or sponges can mar your paint and damage the clear-coat surface. Dry wiping can also scratch the finish. Do not drive on gravel.

To allow the finish to dry and harden completely do not wax or polish the vehicle in the first 90 days.
