THIS NEW CLEARCOAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE RESISTANT TO ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE, AND OFFERS IMPROVED GLOSS RETENTION.

HOWEVER, WHILE THE NEW CLEARCOAT IS SUPERIOR TO PREVIOUS MATERIALS, IT MAY TAKE UP TO 30 DAYS TO ACHIEVE ULTIMATE HARDNESS AND MAR RESISTANCE.

DURING THIS EARLY PERIOD, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ONLY A SPONGE OR WASHING MIT BE USED. DO NOT USE BROOMS OR BRUSHES OR USE "AGGRESSIVE" (BRUSH TYPE) AUTOMATIC CAR WASH EQUIPMENT. WHEN DRYING ONLY USE A SOFT TOWEL OR CHAMOIS, POLISHING OF THE EXTERIOR SURFACE PRIOR TO CUSTOMER DELIVERY SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
