Painted surface maintenance tips

Pay attention to the following points during the maintenance and use of the car:
■
Clean the car in time.
■
If there is no obvious scratch on the painted surface, do not carry out secondary
painting to prevent the paint from being mismatched or not well bonded.
■
If the car is parked for a long period of time, it should be parked in a garage or a
well-ventilated place, and covered with a special body cover in winter. When the car is
parked temporarily, it should be parked in a cool place.
■
Avoid strong impacts, bumps or scratches on the paint layer of the body. If there is any
scratch, dent or peeling off on the painted surface, it should be repaired in a
professional service station in time.
■
Do not touch the painted surface with oily hands or scrub the painted surface with oily
rags and do not place oily tools or rage containing organic solvents on the body to
avoid chemical reactions.
■
Once a month or when the body surface is not very resistant to water, the painted
surface must be waxed and maintained regularly (once every 3 months) in the
professional service station, to restore the bright luster on the body painted surface in
time.
