BEFORE THE BOTTLE OPENS
START WITH
THE SURFACE.
MATERIAL FILE / 01
Gloss paint
A glossy painted panel, usually with a clear protective top layer.
01
Identify
Identify existing wax, coating or film before washing. Use products permitted for that finish and remove loose dirt before contact.
02
Care
Use a dedicated clean wash medium and a compatible shampoo at its labelled dose. Work under the stated conditions, then rinse and dry with clean media.
03
Keep separate
Do not treat washing, polishing and applying protection as the same task. A scratch or etched mark needs assessment before an abrasive process.
Pause and reassess if: The finish is peeling, a mark remains after ordinary cleaning, or the panel was recently repaired.
Guidance checked September 8, 2026. Identify the actual material and follow its maker’s instructions.
