Effortless and Effective Car Care

For car enthusiasts, vehicle care is more than just a task – it is an expression of passion and appreciation. A well-maintained paint finish radiates elegance while protecting the vehicle from external influences. With the Swissvax care range, you achieve an impressive shine and long-lasting protection. In this guide, we explain the essential steps of comprehensive car care – from washing and paint cleaning to polishing and the innovative ceramic coating Keramiq⁹.

1. Hand Wash: The First Step to a Scratch-Free Surface

A thorough hand wash is the foundation of high-quality vehicle care. The Swissvax Car Bath is a specially developed shampoo that gently cleans the paint without gloss enhancers, preserving the natural look of the finish while reducing the risk of micro-scratches.

Application:

• Fill two buckets with warm water and add one capful of Car Bath to one of them.
• Rinse the vehicle with clean water to remove loose dirt.
• Use a Swissvax Waschpudel to wash the vehicle from top to bottom. Rinse the wash mitt regularly in the clean water bucket before dipping it back into the shampoo.
• Finally, rinse the car thoroughly and dry it with a Micro-Dry Towel.

Tip:
To remove insect residues, place a Swissvax microfiber cloth soaked in lukewarm water on the affected area for a few minutes. Then, gently wipe away without rubbing.

2. Paint Cleaning with Paint Rubber: The Key to a Smooth Finish

A smooth paint surface requires thorough deep cleaning. With the Swissvax Paint Rubber, you can remove contaminants like industrial fallout, overspray, and embedded dirt, creating the perfect base for the following care steps.

Application:

• Spray Quick Finish onto the area to be treated.
• Gently glide the Paint Rubber over the surface. If the paint does not feel smooth, repeat the process.
• After cleaning, treat the area with Cleaner Fluids to prepare it for the next step.

3. Polishing with Cleaner Fluids: Paint Care for Brilliant Shine

After cleaning, polishing is a crucial step to prepare the paint for waxing. The Swissvax Cleaner Fluids (Regular, Medium, Strong) are pH-neutral and free from abrasives. They gently remove light scratches, tar spots, tree sap, and old wax residues.

Application:

• Apply Cleaner Fluid Regular with a Swissvax Cotton Applicator using straight motions. Avoid circular movements.
• Wipe off the Cleaner Fluid with a Micro-Fluffy Towel before it dries. Regularly turn the towel to prevent scratches.

4. Waxing: A Protective Shine for the Paint

The hand-crafted Swissvax waxes provide an impressive depth and protect against environmental influences. Each Swissvax wax is specially formulated to create a protective layer that shields the paint from contaminants and minor scratches.

Application:

• Apply the wax with a Swissvax Sponge Applicator or by hand, ensuring an even layer.
• Let the wax sit for a few minutes without fully drying.
• Gently buff to a high gloss with a Micro-Fluffy Towel, turning the towel frequently.

Note:
Allow the wax to settle for three hours before touching the paint. Ideally, place the car in the sun afterward to activate the wax layer and enhance the shine.

5. Ceramic Coating with Keramiq⁹: Long-Term Protection for the Exterior

For maximum protection, Swissvax offers the innovative Keramiq⁹ Ceramic Coating. This spray ceramic forms an invisible hydrophobic layer that protects the vehicle for up to 12 months against environmental influences and provides an outstanding water-beading effect.

Application:

• Thoroughly clean the paint and degrease it with Prep Fluid.
• Moisten a Micro-Absorb Towel (Pink) and apply 10 sprays of Keramiq⁹ evenly onto the surface.
• Immediately wipe off with a Micro-Polish Towel (Blue) to achieve a streak-free finish.
