Dirt such as pollen, bird droppings or insect remains leave their mark on the paintwork. If you want to keep the paintwork intact, you should therefore take regular action against contamination in all seasons. Regular washing is just as important as proper care to avoid long-term paintwork damage.

do not polish in the sun
