CAR WASHING TECHNIQUE
- Wash on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build up.
- Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting.
- Wash from the top down leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross contamination.
- Use the “two bucket” method – one bucket for rinsing your sponge/mitt and one for soapy water.
- Use separate soap and sponge/mitt for wheels.

DRYING
- Always dry completely and never leave to air-dry. Tap water contains minerals that may leave deposits creating water spots.
- Use quality microfiber towels for best results and avoid aggressive wiping, allowing the material to absorb the water.

Removing Contaminants
Coatings are extremely hydrophobic, this means most things will dissolve and be pulled off by the self-cleaning effect. Use coating detailer to remove bird droppings, bugs, and tree sap. Followed by wiping it off with a soft edge-less microfiber towel.
Washing schedule
For best results the car should be washed on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build-up. Use only recommended mild soaps. Avoid high volume brush style car washes, high PH detergent style cleaners, and bug/tar removers. Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting. Wash from the top down leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross-contamination. Use separate soap.
Washing methods
Standard home washing
Use a foam gun (optimal) or microfiber wash mitt to soap down the car. Rinse it off with a pressure washer (optimal) or hose. Dry with clean microfiber towels.
Spray ‘n wash self car washes
Select the high-pressure soap. Soap the car down (never use the provided brushes especially on the paint!). Rinse car off with the high-pressure rinse. Dry with clean microfiber towels.
Car washes
Touch-less car washes only. Never use a car wash with brushes! Never select the “spray wax” option.
Drying
Coating detailer is a great drying aid. Using coating detailer and one damp microfiber to first dry the vehicle then follow by using the second microfiber to finish drying. This process will give you the best results.
Always dry completely and never leave to “air” dry. Tap water contains minerals that may leave deposits creating water spots.
Only use quality microfiber towels for best results and avoid aggressive wiping, allowing the material to absorb the water.
Spot Removal
Never use aggressive products to polish the coating or remove surface contamination.
Never use excessive force to remove spots.
Bird droppings, tar, sap, etc. should be removed as soon as possible to avoid temporary staining or hardening on the coating. Any staining left behind from bird droppings will break down over a few days without affecting the coating.
After Washing
Do not wax the coating, many products contain solvents and abrasives. Coating detailer is the recommended maintenance and aftercare product.
Automated Washing
Always go to a touch-free wash! Using an automated car wash with brushes will void your warranty. Coatings can take 7-14 days to achieve full hardness. Please handle with care and do not wash the vehicle for the first 2 weeks.
