BODYWORK
Polishing
It is recommended that the paintwork
should not be treated with a heavy
wax for a period of three months after
the car has been painted. This will
allow the paintwork to ‘breathe’ and
cure correctly. During this time the car
should be cleaned regularly and may
be treated with a light polish. The
chrome work should be cleaned and
waxed every time the car is cleaned.
After this initial period, the surface of
the paintwork should be thoroughly
cleaned. Any imperfections, such as
scratches should be removed, using a
fine rubbing compound applied with a
soft cloth.
Caution: Polishing compounds must be
used carefully as they actually remove
the paint surface.
A fine cutting polish, such as ICI
Glosspak, can be used to polish road
film off the paint surface.
Caution: Do not use cutting polishes
which contain ammonia, this may
bleach some pigments.
After you are happy that the paint is
completely clean, a good quality wax
polish should be used to finish off.
You should avoid silicone based
products and polymer sealers, as
these can prevent the paint from
‘breathing’.
Use a traditional wax polish which
may require a little more effort, but
the result is worth it.
After the initial polishing of the car, it
is most important to keep the
paintwork and chrome work clean
and well waxed. A good coating of
wax protects the car from harmful
deposits, from the atmosphere and
the road.
Before cleaning, it is advisable to run
a little light oil along the piping
between the wings and the body. This
will help to keep the wax sealant used
fluid and prevent water entering the
seams. The excess can be washed off
and the car cleaned in the normal
way.
Your dealer will be happy to provide
advice about the best materials to use
when cleaning your car.
Leather
The leather upholstery (where fitted) is
made of Connolly Bros 1st grade
hides. To clean the upholstery, wipe
with a damp cloth using Connolly
Gleaner Solution or mild hand soap.
Do not use detergents. After soaping
use a fresh cloth with clean water
then dry.
After cleaning feed leather with
Connolly Hide Food to maintain the
supple feel of the leather.
