PAINTWORK COATING MAINTENANCE

If you have opted for a paintwork coating system to your vehicle it is still paramount that the vehicle is cared for correctly.

This includes following a safe wash technique, using a shampoo which has no gloss enhancers or wax. Typically using the same branded products is the most effective way to ensure the best aftercare.

The importance of drying your vehicle to reduce mineral deposits or water spotting is very important although there are products available to combat this situation preventing it in the first place is the best solution. Using filtered water will give you the best results, even in soft water areas.

Removal of tar and other bonded contaminants from the vehicle at or around six monthly intervals is recommended not only by myself but by manufactures alike, this is to establish if the coating still has the protection properties and is contaminant free. This interval is also a perfect opportunity to top up with a spray sealant to prolong the life of the coating. I typically like to carry this out on my own vehicles prior to the harsh winter weather, and after the winter weather to refresh the coating in time for summer.

Although coatings are by far the best solution for protection and durability, prolonging their life by not using harmful chemicals and following the correct maintenance regime will ensure the best value for money once applied.
