01 / IDENTIFY
Check the vehicle manual, identify the finish and remove loose dust before using a permitted cleaner.
02 / CARE
Control moisture with an appropriate cloth and keep liquid out of seams, switches and electronic areas. Test discreetly and inspect after drying.
03 / KEEP SEPARATE
Avoid assuming shine equals care. Do not put slippery dressings on grip areas or scrub a failing soft-touch coating harder.
The coating becomes sticky, colour transfers, or the surface changes texture during a test.
