Conservation: A clean and dry 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.

Remove any gasoline, oil or brake fluid spilled on painted surfaces immediately, otherwise it will cause discoloration.

Preservation should be repeated when the water on the painted surface no longer collects in drops, but flows over a large area. Regular preservation helps to preserve the original color and gloss of the paint longer.

Another way to preserve paint is with washing preservatives. However, washing preservatives effectively protect paint only if they are used every time you wash your car and if you wash it at least every 2-3 weeks. Only those preservatives that contain 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 direct sunlight.

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 conservation cannot achieve the previous gloss. It is necessary to warn against strong grinding and strong chemical polishing agents, even if the first attempts seem to give an effect.

Before each polishing, the car must be thoroughly washed and dried. In the short term, they penetrate the paint and cannot be removed after that. Fresh resin stains can be removed with a soft cloth soaked in purified gasoline. In extreme cases, you can use regular gasoline, kerosene or turpentine. These stains are very well removed with preservatives. When using these products, refrain from washing.



The treatment should not be carried out on large areas to avoid premature drying of the polishing agent. Additional conservation is required when using some polishing agents. Do not polish in direct sunlight! Matte painted surfaces cannot be treated with preservatives and polishing agents.

Light alloy body parts do not require special processing.

Removal Tar Stains: Resin stains penetrate the paint in a short time and cannot be removed afterwards. Fresh resin stains can be removed with a soft cloth soaked in purified gasoline. In extreme cases, regular gasoline, kerosene or turpentine can be used. These stains are very well removed with preservatives. When using these agents, refrain from washing.

Insect Removal: If dead insects are not removed, the substances they contain can damage the paint in a short time. Once stuck, they are difficult to remove with just water and a sponge, and must be washed off with warm soapy water. There are also special insect removers.

Removing splashes from building solutions: Wash off splashes from various building solutions with a warm solution of detergent. Rub only lightly, otherwise scratches will remain on the coating. After washing, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Care of plastic parts: Plastic parts, artificial leather seats, skylights, lamp shades, as well as parts painted with matte black paint can be washed with water, possibly with the addition of shampoo, water should not get through the skylight. Treat plastics with cleaning agents for plastics. Do not use nitro solvents or gasoline



Window cleaning: Wipe the window glass with a soft, clean cloth. For heavy dirt, use alcohol or ammonia and warm water, as well as a special glass cleaner. When cleaning the windshield, tilt the wiper arms forward.

While washing the windshield, clean the wiper blades.

Caution: When using silicone-containing products, brushes, sponges, leather wipes and cloths used for washing cars should not be used for glass. When treating painted surfaces with silicone-containing products, glass should be covered with cardboard or other material. If a layer of silicone covers the glass for some time, it will not be possible to clean it satisfactorily.


Care of rubber seals: All rubber seals should be dusted with talc from time to time to maintain their elasticity and seal.

Also eliminates squeaking and rustling noises when closing doors. You can also rub lubricating soap into the corresponding surfaces.

Light alloy wheel rims should be treated with a rim cleaner, especially in winter, but do not use any aggressive acidic or alkaline or coarse detergents or steam treatment above +60°C.

Wash seat belts without removing them with a weak soap solution, do not dry clean to avoid damaging the fabric. Only remove automatic belts when dry and, if necessary, spray with a lubricating aerosol to facilitate winding. Do not dry belts at temperatures above +80°C or in direct sunlight.
