How long should I wait before washing my car?
Important recommendations and precautions during the first 30 days after painting:
DO’s
- Wash your vehicle by hand with cool water and a very mild car wash solution, using a soft cloth or sponge.
- Always use clean, fresh water.
- Wash your vehicle in the shade.
Don'ts
- Avoid commercial car washes – stiff brushes and sponges can mar the vehicle’s finish and damage its surface.
- Don’t “dry wipe” your vehicle as this can scratch the finish.
- Don’t drive on gravel roads – your vehicle’s finish can be easily chipped during the first 30 days.
- Avoid parking under trees and utility lines that are likely to attract birds – bird droppings have a high acid content and will damage a freshly painted surface. Also, tree sap can mar or spot a new finish.
- Don’t spill gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid or windshield solvent on the new finish.
During the first 90 days:
Don’t wax or polish your vehicle – it’s important to allow the finish to dry and harden completely.
