Easy Ways to Maintain Your Car and Paint Protection Treatments
-
Washing
- Wash your vehicle bi-weekly using Optimum No Rinse™ Wash & Shine, No Rinse™ Wash & Wax, or Car Wash to prevent excessive contamination buildup.
- Avoid washing in direct sunlight – heated panels can cause drying, streaking, or water spots.
- Start washing from the top down, leaving the dirtiest sections last to prevent cross-contamination.
- Use a separate soap and sponge/mitt for wheels to avoid transferring brake dust and grime to the paintwork.
- Dispose of contaminated water – refill your bucket with fresh, clean wash solution as needed.
-
Spot Removal of Surface Contamination
- Never use abrasive products to polish the coating or remove surface contamination.
- Avoid using excessive force to remove spots.
- Remove bird droppings, tar, and tree sap as soon as possible to prevent staining or hardening.
- Any staining left behind from bird droppings will break down over a few days without affecting the coating.
-
Drying
- Always dry the vehicle completely; never leave it to air dry, as tap water contains minerals that may leave deposits, causing water spots.
- Use Optimum Microfiber Drying Towels or other high-quality microfiber towels for best results.
- Avoid excessive wiping; allow the absorbent material to soak up surface water with slow passes.
Opti-Guard™ Leather and Fabric Maintenance Program
Leather & Vinyl Surfaces
- Clean all leather/vinyl surfaces bi-weekly with Optimum Leather Protectant to avoid contaminant buildup and replenish natural oils.
- Wipe off spills immediately to prevent staining.
- Vacuum carpets regularly and use Optimum Carpet & Fabric Clean & Protect as needed.
- Immediately wipe off spills on fabric to prevent permanent staining.
- Opti-Guard Fabric creates a stain-resistant ceramic coating that repels liquids and prevents penetration into the material fibers.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your vehicle remains in excellent condition, maintaining both its aesthetic appeal and protective coatings.
