Build your first car-care routine

Plan a simple wash, drying and optional maintenance routine for the actual car.

Follow the method

  1. 01

    Confirm the surface, existing coating, wrap or PPF, and any installer aftercare.

    Why: A new car may already have a finish that changes the routine.

  2. 02

    Prepare suitable shampoo, a wash mitt, a Drying Towel and separate T2 cloths. Keep wheel tools separate.

    Why: Each tool has a different job; grit should not transfer between tasks.

  3. 03

    Wash cool bodywork with a compatible label-directed shampoo method and rinse thoroughly.

    Why: Cleaning comes before maintenance products.

  4. 04

    Inspect for remaining contamination. Use clay only when needed and compatible; assess defects separately.

    Why: A new vehicle does not automatically need clay, polishing or another coating.

  5. 05

    Choose Bio Nano on clean wet paint, or dry first and apply Graphene Seal through a T2, then buff with another T2.

    Why: One clear method is easier to carry out and check than unnecessary layering.

  6. 06

    Inspect the finish and keep a simple routine adjusted to dirt, driving and parking conditions.

    Why: Maintenance needs change with use and with coating aftercare.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Buying every protection product before inspecting the car.
  • Using T2 as the whole-car drying towel.
  • Applying both maintenance routes automatically.

Put it into practice

A practical activity

Lay out clean tools without touching paint. Explain which towel absorbs wash water and which cloths apply and buff product.

Check your result

The learner can list the tools, washing order and one suitable maintenance route.

Explain it in your own words

Explain the routine you would use on this car, and what you must confirm before starting.
