Conservation
More often than necessary, cleanly washed and dried lacquered surfaces should be treated with a preservative to create a pore-closing and water-repellent wax layer for weather protection.
Clean up spilled fuel, oil or grease, especially spilled brake fluid, immediately, otherwise the paintwork will discolor.
Repeat the conservation when the varnish no longer repels water and it spreads over a large area. Regular maintenance contributes to the preservation of the original gloss of the lacquer coating for a long time.
An additional possibility for the preservation of varnish coatings is the use of detergent preservatives, which sufficiently protect the varnish coating only if they are applied at each car wash, and the time interval between two washes is no more than two to three weeks. Use only varnish preservatives that contain carnauba or synthetic wax.
After using detergent (foam washing) post-treatment with a preservative should especially be recommended (pay attention to the instructions for use).
Polishing
Only polish lacquer surfaces if the lacquer coating has become unattractive due to insufficient care, road dust, industrial exhaust gases, sun and rain, and the gloss can no longer be restored with preservatives.
Care should be taken not to use abrasive or chemically aggressive polishing agents, even if the first attempt was successful.
Before each polishing, the car must be washed clean and thoroughly dried. The rest should be done in accordance with the instructions of the polishing agent.
Too large surfaces should not be processed to avoid premature drying of the varnish. When using some polishing agents, it is necessary to additionally carry out conservation. Do not polish in bright sunlight! Do not treat matte lacquered parts with preservatives or polishes.
Removing tea stains
Tea stains eat into the lacquer for a short time, and then they cannot be completely removed. Fresh tea stains can be removed with a soft cloth soaked in washing gasoline. In case of emergency, you can use gasoline from a gas dispenser, kerosene or turpentine oil. A lacquer preservative is also very good for removing tea stains. After using this product, you can refuse the subsequent washing.
Insect removal
Insect remains contain substances that can damage the lacquer film if not removed immediately. To remove, wash them off with a mild, lukewarm soapy water or detergent solution. There is also a special tool for removing insects from the surface of varnish coatings.
Building Material Splash Removal
Wash off spilled building materials with a lukewarm solution of neutral detergent. Just wipe lightly, otherwise you can scratch the lacquer. Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water after washing.
