Aftercare Tips

Aftercare Tips from Dave Hallman Collision Center

  • Wash your vehicle by hand only, not a commercial car wash.
  • Wash with cold water only in summer, in the shade and with warm water in the winter. Do not use detergents or cleaners.
  • After washing, wipe off all the water spots with a soft cloth or chamois.
  • Do not wax or polish the vehicle.
  • Protect it from unnecessary extremes of high and low temperatures.
  • Do not park under trees or near industrial facilities with heavy fallout/smoke.
  • Avoid driving on gravel roads.
  • During winter months, have hidden areas force cleaned with water to remove road gravel/salts.
  • Avoid scraping painted surfaces.
  • If windshield washer fluid or antifreeze spills occur, wipe up immediately.
