To ensure the longevity and appearance of your new paintwork and repairs, please follow these care guidelines:

• Avoid washing your vehicle for the first 7 days after repair to allow the paint to fully cure.

• Do not use automated or brush-style car washes for at least 30 days. Hand washing with a soft sponge or mitt and a pH-neutral car shampoo is recommended.

• We recommend using a “car wash only” product, not a wash-and-wax.

• Always dry the vehicle after washing using a clean, dry microfibre towel to prevent water spots from damaging the paint.

• Damage caused by automated or abrasive car washes is not covered under warranty.

• Do not wax or polish the vehicle within the first 90 days, as this can interfere with the curing process and may void warranty coverage.

• The use of inferior or abrasive products, cleaning chemicals, or polishes that damage the finish will also void warranty coverage.

• Remove bird droppings, sap, fuel, or other contaminants promptly, as these can permanently damage fresh paint.

• Be mindful that stone chips, road debris, and environmental exposure (UV, salt, industrial fallout) are outside of warranty coverage.

• For polishing or paint correction work:

  • We recommend 3M Perfect-It™ compounds and polishes (36064, 36102) for rotary machine use.

  • For dual-action polishers, Meguiar’s D300 (Correction Compound) and D301 (Finishing Wax) are suitable.

  • Any polishing should be carried out by a qualified professional.

  • Always consult Calibre Collision before taking your vehicle to a third party for paint correction or detailing, as improper methods may affect your warranty.

• Regular cleaning and maintenance with approved products will help preserve the quality and finish of your repairs.
