Important Aftercare Guidelines - Please read carefully

Thank you for choosing Supagard, Asia’s leading paint, fabric and leather protection technology.
We promise that you will find living with, and looking after your car, an absolute delight now that you have invested in Supagard’s protection system. To get the most out of your investment however, you still need to care for your car and regularly wash it. Please carefully read and follow the important guidelines outlined below to ensure that your car stays looking as beautiful in 5 years’ time as it does today!

EXTERIOR - POLYSILAZANE GLASS COATING

​Collecting your car / curing time
1 - The car is dry to the touch and can be driven away as soon as the coating has been applied. It can be driven even in the rain.
2 - The curing time for the coating is 24 hours.
3 - If however, the car does get wet during the curing period do not let the water dry on the surface. Wipe it down with chamois or a micro fibre cloth before it is left to dry.
4 - Do not wash the car with shampoo during or put any other chemical products on the coating during the 24 hour curing period.
On-going Care
1 - Ensure that you wash your car on a regular basis. Once a week is optimal. You do not need to use a shampoo, simply hosing the car down and wiping with a sponge and then a micro fibre cloth or chamois leather will be enough to keep the car looking immaculate.
2 - You can, however use any brand shampoo you wish once it is cured. The shampoo not will adversely affect the coating. We recommend using Supagard’s salt free, concentrated PH Neutral Shampoo.
3 - Always remove bird droppings as soon as you notice them. Supagard will protect the surface of your car against the corrosive effects of bird lime for up to a week, but may mark the coating if left longer.
4 - The coating will retain its brilliant shine so you will not need to wax or polish your car again, if however you want to, you can. Always use a wax/polish that is applied by hand, do not ever machine polish the car. We recommend Supagard’s Calnuba based, Paintseal Cream; it offers an extra layer of protection with an extra high gloss finish. It will last on your car for about 4 weeks. It will eventually wash off leaving the coating underneath still protecting your car.
Watermarks
1 - If water marks appear, simply wipe them away with a damp micro-fibre cloth. Do this on a regular basis and water marks will not become an issue. Do not let watermark stand on the surface for a prolonged period of time especially if the car parked directly in the sun.
2 - If the car is neglected and watermarks become ‘baked on’, they will become more difficult to remove we recommend you use Supagard’s Wipe Away to quickly and efficiently remove marks by hand.
3 - Never machine buff/polish the car, as this could potentially damage or even remove, the coating and your Guarantee will be null and void.

​Hydrophobic beading effect
1 - The beautiful hydrophobic beading effect that occurs when the car gets wet is not covered in the Guarantee and can diminish in time, depending on how you look after the car.
2 - The diminishing of this effect does not mean that the coating is ‘not on the car’ or is ‘not doing its job’. It simply means that microscopic dust particles and other containments have adhered themselves to the coating preventing the hydrophobic beading effect. To bring back the beading, all you need to do is remove the contaminants. This can be done by simply washing the car with a clay bar - this will bring the effect back immediately.
3 - To ensure that the hydrophobic effect never diminishes, we recommend that you use Supagard’s Aqua Free waterless car wash. Regular washing with Aqua Free is not only the quickest and most convenient way to wash your car, giving the car an extra deep shine, it will also ensure that the beading effect will effortlessly be maintained.
4 - The car can be washed with Aqua Free even if it is quite dirty. The micro fibre cloth used with get black with dirt, but that is nothing to worry about as the Polysilazane coating is so tough that it is not susceptible to swirl marks as an unprotected car would be.

INTERIOR - FABRIC PROTECTOR

1 - Always clean beverage spills as soon as you can.
2 - If a spill is allowed to dry, use a micro fibre cloth and some soap and water to remove the ‘stain’ with a dabbing motion. Do not rub. The fabric protector ensures that food and drink spills will not penetrate the fibres - effectively making them stain proof. The cleaned area will still be protected as the cleaning will not remove or affect the protection.

INTERIOR - LEATHER PRESERVER

1 - The same rules apply as above for the fabric protector.
2 - IMPORTANT - As leather is a natural material it will need regular maintenance. To this end we have supplied you with a pack of 36 leather disposable wipes; these will feed and nourish the leather, keeping it supple, prevent it from cracking and also maintain the invisible stain proof barrier.
3 - All protected leather surfaces in the car are to be wiped with the wipes once a month. Please note: work quickly as they can dry up quite quickly. You may find that you need to use a couple of wipes to do all the seats in the car.
Additional packs of leather wipes and the other products mentioned herein are available from your dealership or local Supagard specialist.
