Dont Wash that Car!

Leave Polishing To the Professionals

When you paint is brand new the clear coat has not been hardened yet. this allows a professional to easily cut through uneven spots in your paint job and make it even more beautiful. It also allows novice car washers to cut right through the clear coat and leave ruin the job.

Leave Your Car Outside

You can buy car wash soap but dish soap does a good job. The important thing now is to add a coat of wax. The best wax for your car is carnauba. This will give your car a deep shine and the wax coating protects your car's paint from the elements. Over time the UV light that cures paint will eventually break down your clear coat. carnauba car wax protects against this and will make sure your paint last long, long time.
