■ Materials that may become difficult to
remove
The following are likely to settle into the
vehicle body and should be cleaned off
immediately.
● Rain water, sea water, and other liquids
that may cause water stains
● Sand, pollen, volcanic ash, and other par-
ticulate matter
● Dead insects, bird droppings, etc.
● Sap, leaves, flowers, etc.
● Mud, snow, anti-freezing agents, and
other road debris
● Gasoline, engine oil, asphalt, and other
oily materials
■ Do not wax or apply a coating to the
vehicle
Do not wax the vehicle or apply a coating to
the vehicle body, as they will form a film
over the painted surfaces, filling the matte
clear coat surface, making it more flat. As a
result, it will become more glossy, possibly
permanently losing its matte properties.
Take care in order to not damage the
painted surfaces.
When minor damage occurs to a vehi-
cle with a normal clear coat, it can be
repaired by polishing it or using touch
up paint. In contrast, a matte clear coat
cannot be repaired using these meth-
ods.
