- Do hand wash for the first 90 days or (if you have to) use a brushless car wash.
- Do use a mild car wash detergent.
- Do remove any stains or bird droppings as soon as possible to prevent any acid etching of the finish.
- Do avoid exposure to gasoline or antifreeze since long term exposure can damage even this durable paint.
- Do not wipe the finish with a dry cloth because together with dirt, dust and sand, it acts like sandpaper and scratches the   finish.
- Do not scrape ice or snow from the paint as this can also scratch the finish.
- Do not wash the new finish for the first 90 days. The full curing process takes places over this time.
- Do not wash the car in direct sunlight. Water droplets act as a magnifying glass for the harmful UV rays of the sun.

- Look for a neat, well-organized facility, with vehicles in the parking lot equal in value to your own and modern equipment in   the service bays.
- Look for a courteous staff, with a service consultant willing to answer all of your questions.
- Look for signs of professionalism in the customer service area such as civic, community, or customer service awards.
- Look for evidence of qualified technicians: trade school diplomas, certificates of advanced course work and certification of   ASE and I-CAR.
- Reward good service with repeat business and customer loyalty.
