vehicle body should be waxed again.

acidic substances in rain water.
When washing the vehicle, use
specialized cleaning products instead
of washing powder, soaps or detergents
with high alkalinity that are used for

maintaining optimal paint conditions,
and the premature aging of the paint.
When taking the vehicle to a washing
station, make sure the staff will not use
de-waxing detergent.
