Yes and no. The benefits of car paint protection against bird droppings, UV damage on paint, etc is unconditional after application of the Infinity Auto paint protection. Whilst Glare car polish will not wash away or break down with household detergents, the residue from such detergents and chemicals after drying, tarnish the deep rich gloss on the Glare surface. This is more noticeable on darker coloured cars. If for any reason you have no option due to water restrictions, ensure you do a top coat periodically with the aftercare supplied to remove such residue and ensuring the rich color and texture of your automotive paint.
This is normally found in densely populated urban areas or anywhere where there is a lot of pollution in the air. Generally, after a long dry period, the first rains bring down all the dirt, dust and grime, so much so, after the rain, the surface has got a lot of brown dirt left on it, long after the water has evaporated. The bonnet or engine compartment, if the engine is at the back, suffers the worst damage as the heat generated from this area caused the water to evaporate, lets the paint pores expand, and dries the residue hard into the surface. You will notice if the vehicle is not washed within the specified period of 24 hrs with the recommended wash, it will feel a bit grabby or not as smooth as the day before the rain. This proves that the barrier formed by the Glare car polish has worked. It has not allowed the grime to settle into the paint pores. This will ONLY happen after acid rain. General rain will not do this. After a normal rain, the vehicle is generally cleaner than before the rain. This also proves that the protective barrier left on the surface by the car wash product - which is activated by water - has worked.
No. once applied and allowed to dry, it will not. After a period of time, depending on use of the wipers, you will notice the areas in the path of the wiper blades wearing down, this will need to be reapplied. Every time it rains, the product dispels water, reducing the need to use or wipe the screens. Try it, you will be amazed.
We use the best grade microfiber cloths to reduce the chances of scratching the surface of your car paint, which will reduce the risk of wearing down the car paint protection product by abrasion. It does not matter how careful you are, every time you brush against the treated paint surface, wash the treated car paint surface or dry the treated surface, it is abrasive. Using the car wash reduces the friction, and using good grade wash sponge/car wash mitt is a preventative measure. In the event of a paint scratch occurring, the paint damage is minimised, making it easier for the top coat to fill in the defect.
It is preferable to wash your vehicle in enclosed or controlled areas. This prevents dust settling on the car when wet. This will scratch your car paint as you dry the car. Always rinse loose dirt and grime off your car before you wash it. Rinse wash/sponge/chamoise before driving your car. Always wash your vehicle from the top down, in small section, ensuring car wash mitt/sponge carries enough water/shampoo. Avoid using same car wash sponge/mitt for the wheels and body of the car. Rinse thoroughly. When drying the car, wipe dry in small sections starting on roof. Always rinse chamoise clean after each panel. Avoid using chamoise on semi dried areas, rewet to avoid surface scratches/spider webbing. Avoid using same chamoise for top and bottom sections of car.
Do not forget to dry inside door jams/boot/bonnet and sills of car after washing. Failure to do this will result in water trapped in these sections to drip onto car, dry and cause water marks.
Do not forget to give the car leather, inside of car windows and door panels a wipe with wet chamoise or microfiber cloth.
Rinse clean the chamoise/mit/sponge and store in original packaging/box for when needed next. Do not wring chamoise dry, leave semi wet. In case of emergency/ bird drop, it can be used to remove residue without scratching.
REMEMBER, avoid car washing systems that use brushes. Also remember car washes use recycled water so a top up will give you back that new polish look. If you use a reputable hand car wash service, insist on them using your aftercare and shampoo, especially if you drive a dark colored car.
