the vehicle body from the top to the
bottom to remove sand and dust.

dirty, make sure to wash them first, other-

Water stains
If liquid, such as rain water or tap water,
evaporates on a painted surface, dirt or
minerals in the liquid may be left behind. If
not cleaned off, the contaminants may set-
tle into the textured surface of the matte
clear coat, making it difficult to clean off
with water alone.
Washing your vehicle
In order to avoid damage to the
vehicle’s paint, washing the vehicle
by hand with only water is recom-
mended.
