Remove any exterior

accessories, such as antennas,

before entering a car wash.

Protecting your vehicles’ paint
finish

Applying a polymer paint sealant to

your vehicle on a regular basis

will assist in reducing minor

scratches and paint damage. A

typical paint sealant lasts

approximately six months to a

year, depending on local weather

conditions and the cleaning soap

that is used in washing the vehicle.
Do not use a wax that beads

excessively.
Do not allow paint sealant to

come in contact with any

nonĆbody (lowĆgloss black)

colored trim, such as grained

door handles, roof racks,

bumpers, side moldings, mirror

housings or the windshield cowl

area. The paint sealant will

"gray" or stain the parts

over time.
