What to Do and What Not to Do!

Car Washes:

  • Use (2 Buckets Technique) (YES)
  • Touch-less Wash (YES)
  • Automatic Brush Wash (NO)

Home Washing:

  • Use quality car wash soap with no wax
  • No wax ever applied to the vehicle
  • Use Microfiber Wash mitt and 400 gsm microfiber towel to dry
  • Wash in shade
  • Do not wash in the sun

  • Do not wax or polish
  • Do not use abrasive towels

The Curing Process

The curing process will take 5 days depending on environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. During this time, the following should be avoided:

  • Sprinklers or reclaimed water! The coating will protect your clear coat from water spots. The coating is less likely to etch in comparison to your original factory clear coat, but it can get spots during the curing process and can be costly to remove.
  • Parking under a shedding tree
  • Allowing bird droppings, sap, or pollen to sit on the car and bake in the sun
  • Washing or abrading the paint if you notice that your car gets water spots, bird droppings, tree sap, etc. If you notice any of the above, immediately remove it. Keep in mind the coating is soft; be gentle when working on the paint.

Washing Your Car at Home

Conforti Ceramic Collection has a competitive self-cleaning effect. Minimizing rubbing, (especially with a dry towel) on the coating will ensure its longevity. Dry bird droppings, bugs, and tree sap can be dissolved using alcohol type solvents and wiped off with a damp microfiber towel.

Washing:

  • For best results, the car should be washed on a bi-weekly basis to avoid excessive contamination build-up. Use only recommended mild soaps.
  • Use 2 Buckets Technique to wash your protected car
  • Avoid high volume brush style car washes, and high PH detergent style cleaners
  • Avoid washing in direct sunlight to minimize streaking and water spotting
  • Wash from the top down leaving the dirtiest sections for last to avoid cross contamination
  • Use separate soap and sponge/mitt/towel for wheels to prevent cross contamination

Methods Of Washing:

1. Standard home washing:
Use a foam gun (optimal) or microfiber wash mitt to soap down the car. Rinse it off with a pressure washer (optimal) or hose. Dry with clean microfiber towels.

2. Spray ‘n wash self car washes:
Be sure to select the high-pressure soap. Soap the car down (never use the provided brushes, especially on the paint!). Rinse your car off with the high-pressure rinse. Dry with clean microfiber towels.

3. Car washes:
Touch-less car washes only. Never use a car wash with brushes! Never select the “spray wax” option.

Drying:

  • Always dry completely and never leave to “air” dry. Tap water contains minerals that may leave deposits creating water spots. These can be removed with a 50/50 vinegar solution or use Water Spot Remover.
  • Only use quality microfiber towels for the best results and avoid aggressive wiping. This in turn, allows the material to absorb the water.

Spot Removal:

  • Never use aggressive products to polish the coating or remove surface contamination
  • Never use excessive force to remove spots
  • Bird droppings, tar, sap, etc. should be removed as soon as possible to avoid temporary staining or hardening on the coating. Any staining left behind from bird droppings will break down over a few days without affecting the coating.

After Washing:

  • Do not wax the coating. It is unnecessary and can cause damage to the coating!
  • Conforti Collection Sealant Care is the most recommended maintenance product.

Automated Washing:

  • Always go to a touch free wash! Using an automated car wash with brushes will void the warranty and dull the coating. Conforti Ceramic Collection 10H takes up to one week to achieve full hardness. Please handle with care and do not wash the vehicle for the first week.

Leather And Fabric Maintenance Program:

  • For best results, all leather/vinyl surfaces should be cleaned bi-weekly with a leather protectant to avoid contaminant build-up and to replenish the natural oils.
  • Vacuum carpets regularly and use carpet & fabric cleaners when necessary.
  • Immediately wipe off spills on leather, vinyl, or fabric.

Biannual Maintenance Preformed:

  • Biannual inspections are recommended because they will ensure that the coating is maintained and that care for the vehicle is properly executed. Although durable and long lasting, biannual inspections ensure maximum gloss and protection.
