I had to replace my front bumper on my car and it was painted last week. I will be going on a trip where there are bugs along the way.
I want to remove these bugs as I go and reading the thread ONR is a good product. I have Opti Coat on the rest of the paint's surface except the new bumper.
The instructions from the repair shop on the new paint are this:
DO (first 30 days)
-wash the car by hand with cool water and very mild car wash solution using soft cloth/sponge. Always use fresh water and wash in the shade.
DONT (first 30 days)
-do not use commercial car washer.
-do not "dry wipe" dust or debris from the paint surface, dry wiping can scratch the surface.
-do not drive on gravel roads (chippings occurs easily in first 30 days)
-avoid parking under trees (bird droppings/bug droppings/tree sap have high acid content that will damage paint new and old)
-do not spill gasoline/diesel/oil/antifreeze/transmission or windshieldfluids on new paint
-do not scape ice or snow from fresh paint surface
DONT (first 90 days)
-do not wax or polish the vehicles fresh paint within the first 90 days. This will allow the fresh paint to dry and harden completely.
