Conservation
Cleanly washed and dry, the surface should be preserved as often as possible with a preservative to protect the paint from external influences with a waxy water-repellent layer that closes the pores.
Clean up gasoline, oils or brake fluid spilled on painted surfaces immediately, otherwise discoloration will result.
Preservation should be repeated when the water on the painted surface no longer collects in drops, but flows down over a large area. Regular maintenance helps to keep the original color and gloss of the paint longer.
Washing preservatives provide another possibility for paint preservation. However, detergent preservatives effectively protect the paint only if they are used at every car wash and if the car washes are carried out at least every 2-3 weeks. Only preservatives containing synthetic waxes should be used.
Preservatives are especially recommended after washing with detergents (foam wash) (follow the instructions for use).
Preservation should not be carried out in the open sun.
Polishing
Polishing is carried out if the paint has faded due to insufficient care under the influence of dust, industrial gases, sun and rain and preservation cannot restore the previous gloss.
Care should be taken not to use highly abrasive and chemically detergent polishes, even if the first attempts seem to be effective.
Before each polishing, the car must be thoroughly washed and dried. Otherwise, strictly follow the instructions for use of the polishing agent.
Processing should not be carried out on large areas in order to avoid premature drying of the polishing agent. When using some polishing agents, additional preservation is required. Do not polish in the open sun! Matte painted surfaces must not be treated with preservatives and polishing agents.
Light-metal body parts do not require special processing.
