New Paint care Tips
You can keep your new finish in superb condition by following these suggestions:
- Park in a garage or under a roof whenever possible.
- Avoid parking under trees, as sap and bird droppings may damage the finish. Remove these substances as soon as possible by rinsing with water (use a mild soap, if necessary).
- Wash the car frequently, preferably by hand. During the first 30 days, when the paint is especially fresh, clean the car with a water rinse only. In fact, water alone will usually thoroughly clean your new Du Pont finish. For heavy soil, use a mild liquid soap (no detergent).
- Do not wash your car in the hot sun.
- Do not wipe your car with a dry cloth. Always use water.
- Avoid automatic car washes where brushes are used. The stiff brushes can scratch the finish.
- Do not allow gasoline or anti-freeze to stand on the surface. Remove by rinsing with water.
- Do not wax for the first 60 days after painting.
- Have any paint nicks or bruises touched up as soon as they occur, to protect against rusting.
- Do not remove ice or snow from the painted surface with a scraper of any sort.
