Professional Care:
Contact your DITEC Center and let them to clean your vehicle once or twice/month.

Automated Carwash
Use ONLY touch free carwashes. Other brush carwashes violate the paint and create scratches and other paint damages.

Do It Yourself:
Use a wax free car shampoo* or dishwashing detergent**. Use a natural ship skin mitt to wash the car. If you have tar or contaminants on the paint, use a mild degreaser to dissolve these contaminants. Don't worry you are not going to remove DITEC protection.

The Rims:
If your vehicle is equipped with WheelTec you do not need to use any wheel cleaner. Wash the rims with water and if needed clean them with a sponge.

Start washing the loose dust and dirt from the vehicle. The best result is archived using a pressure wash (not more than 1500 PSI). Thereafter start washing the car with the mitt and shampoo from TOP to BOTTOM is exact that order. The roof is the less dirty part of the vehicle and the lower you get the dirtier the vehicle gets. You want to avoid rubbing the dirt on the car and creating scratches. Therefore, when washing the doors, fenders and quarter panels, avoid circular or up-and-down movements, where the dirt from the lower parts of these panels scratches the rest of the panel. If the panels are very dirty, wash them in small sections and clean the wash mitt every time before continuing to the next section. When done, wash the soap off the car and dry it preferably with a blower or use a natural chamois. Avoid bathroom towels or cheap cleaning towels. These towels contain polyester that will scratch your car.

*Wax free shampoo is usually cheaper and contains less environmentally harmful chemicals. But the wax in the shampoo will not have any negative or positive effect on the DITEC protected surface.
**DITEC protection is not a wax and dishwashing detergent will not wash the protection away. However you should not use stripers such as Joy on a regular basis.
