Care like no other, for a car like no other
Keep your car looking like new inside and out with specially formulated shampoo, paint cleaner, polish, and other products from the car Car Care Product Collection. Each product is meticulously designed to clean, protect, and maintain the original car appearance that was love at first sight.
Exterior Care
From dust and dirt to more grating contaminants like road grime and tree sap, maintaining the exterior of your car requires careful cleaning. We recommend using car Car Care Products, available at your local authorized car dealer, for the best results.
Vehicle Wash Tips
Remove loose contaminants that have not bonded to the paint finish by washing your car using a vehicle shampoo, such as car Car Shampoo, and water:
Mix one ounce (approx. four capfuls) of car shampoo per gallon of water
Rinse the entire vehicle with a strong spray of water
Starting at the top, wash one section of the vehicle at a time using a soft, clean sponge, towel or sheepskin wash mitt. Rinse both the vehicle and the wash mitt thoroughly before you continue to the next section
After a final overall rinse, wipe your vehicle dry with a natural chamois or 100% terry toweling (use of any type of toweling other than thick nap, clean, 100% cotton terry cloth may cause swirl marks)
Never wash the vehicle unless it is cool and in the shade, and avoid using dishwashing detergents, which may cause paint to fade and oxidize. We recommend the use of car Car Care Products, available online at the Collection or from your authorized car Dealer.
Wash Frequency
How often you should wash your vehicle depends on the conditions where you live and drive. Wash your vehicle more frequently in the winter months or if you live near the coast, where ocean salt is more prevalent.
Clean
Restore a smooth finish prior to polishing your car by using car Paint Cleaner to remove surface oxidation, stains or blemishes that did not wash off in Step One:
Apply a liberal amount of paint cleaner to a clean terry cloth or sponge applicator
Work one section at a time, rubbing the product thoroughly and evenly into the finish
When dry, wipe with a clean terry towel to restore a smooth finish prior to polishing and waxing
Protect
For exceptional protection for your car, we recommend polishing your vehicle with car Paint Care. Paint Care can help to remove light surface problems and polishes your vehicle´s finish to a brilliant high gloss, coating it with a complex layer of waxes, silicones, polymers, and resins.
Use a sponge applicator or soft cotton terry cloth to apply Paint Care evenly to the entire vehicle, one section at a time
Remove residue with another soft towel

Removing Contaminants
Scratches, swirl marks, and common surface contaminants – including vehicle exhaust, insecticides, industrial pollutants, tree sap, bird and insect deposits, and ocean salt – can compromise your vehicle’s finish and, if left untreated, make even vibrant colors look faded and dull.
To evaluate your paint finish, run a clean, dry hand along your vehicle’s clean surface. It should feel as smooth as glass. If it doesn’t, you’re feeling bonded contaminants.
Regular attention with car Car Care Products will remove this contamination. To reduce surface damage, park your vehicle in the garage whenever possible or use a vehicle cover, available at your local authorized car dealer.
