Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior
If the painted surfaces of the vehicle are dirty, wash the vehicle immediately.
(Washing your vehicle P. 32)
Due to the slight unevenness, matte
clear coat surfaces are more likely to
Dirt
trap dirt and other foreign matter com-
pared to normal clear coat surfaces.
If dirt or foreign matter is left on the
vehicle, it may settle into the textured
surface of the matte clear coat, making
it more difficult to remove. Additionally,
as the surface of the matte clear coat
will become more flat when dirty, the
vehicle body will start to look glossy,
ruining the textured finish.
Therefore, make sure to clean the vehi-
cle regularly and not allow dirt to
remain on the vehicle for extended
periods of time.
If dirt or foreign matter is allowed to settle and cannot be cleaned off with normal
washing, it will be necessary to remove the dirt with the upper layer of the tex-
tured finish and then to repaint the entire part.
