Field guide / Wash day

A routine you can repeat.

Use this as a clear starting routine, then follow the product label for product-specific directions and cautions.

  1. 01

    Start in shade

    Work on a cool surface where water and product are less likely to dry before you rinse.

  2. 02

    Move loose grit

    Rinse the surface thoroughly before contact. Pay attention to lower panels and wheel-adjacent areas.

  3. 03

    Follow the label

    Use the product-specific directions and cautions on the label before you begin.

  4. 04

    Work top to bottom

    Clean one manageable area at a time and keep the surface wet. Do not let wash solution dry on the panel.

  5. 05

    Rinse completely

    Remove remaining wash solution and inspect seams, mirrors, handles, and lower panels.

  6. 06

    Finish with a clean tool

    Use a clean finishing cloth appropriate to the product and surface. Stop if grit transfers to it.
