Waxing
• Wash the vehicle first.
• Use a quality wax that does not contain abrasives.
• Do not allow paint sealant to come in contact with any non-body (low-gloss black)
colored trim, such as grained door handles, roof racks, bumpers, side moldings,
mirror housings or the windshield cowl area. The paint sealant will grey or stain
the parts over time.
