Post Paint Work Maintenance

Simple care tips to protect your new paint finish after spray painting or repairs.

Aftercare guide

  • Do not wash the vehicle with harsh chemicals during the first few days after collection.
  • Avoid automatic car washes for at least 30 days. Hand wash gently using clean microfiber cloths.
  • Do not polish or wax fresh paint immediately unless advised by the workshop.
  • Remove bird droppings, tree sap and road tar quickly using safe automotive cleaning products.
  • Park under cover where possible to reduce UV exposure, dust and rain contamination.
  • Use pH-balanced car shampoo and avoid abrasive sponges.
  • Report any unusual dullness, peeling or imperfections early so the repair area can be checked.
