NEW PAINT CARE
keep your car new
Welcome back. The first 30–90 days are vital as your new paint finishes curing. These temporary care steps are a normal part of high-quality bodywork and ensure your finish stays perfect for years. By following these friendly tips while the paint settles, you will fully protect the fresh look we have achieved for you.
paint hygiene
soft handwash
Strictly skip automatic car washes for 30 days. Their nylon brushes create scratches on fresh paint that has not yet hardened.
gentle rinsing
Avoid all pressure washing and deep cleaning for 14–30 days. Intense water force can damage the bond of your newly applied finish.
proper methods
Rinse with cold water first to clear grit. Using automotive shampoo and a microfiber mitt, gently wash by hand to prevent any swirl marks.
Essential Safeguard
For 14 days, avoid trees, industry, and sun. Spot clean acidic sap and droppings. No wax for 60 days to prevent paint bubbles.

Why the wait?
To ensure your new finish maintains its deep shine, the paint must cure naturally. It is standard for modern coatings to need sixty days to breathe before wax or sealants are applied.
Can I wash it?
While the car looks ready, the finish remains delicate for a few weeks. Gentle hand washing is fine, but avoid harsh automatic machines to let the surface harden and stay mirror-smooth.
Where should I park?
Try to avoid parking under trees or in direct sun during the first month. These standard precautions prevent sap or heat from interfering with the curing process while the gloss sets firmly.
