Freshly painted surfaces may be washed after thirty (30) days. If possible, avoid touching any freshly painted surface during this time period. After thirty (30) days, dirt, dust, and stains may be removed with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. All surfaces must be clean and free of debris prior to painting. We offer a power washing and cleaning service to prepare exterior surfaces for painting.

Yes, Hi Gloss is perfectly safe for new cars or newly painted surfaces. It is a silicone free product and non abrasive. It will help protect and keep your car looking new.

Yes! We use super soft cloth wash materials and mild cleaners. However, the paint should be allowed to cure before washing. Please consult with your body shop for curing times. (Paint on new vehicles is fully cured before delivery.)

The surface will be kept well if vacuum cleaned with a soft nozzle. If necessary wipe the stove with a moist cloth, but only when the stove is completely cold. Be careful when choosing cleaning materials as the paint may be damaged by acid. If necessary, use mild detergent or brown soap. The painted surface may in the course of time get a grey tinge; but the stove can easily be freshened up with a special heat-resistant spray-paint, which can be bought from your dealer.

Definitely not, you probably will not be able to tell the difference. Refinishing will make that old chipped, stained, or colour-dated item look "new" again.

Maintenance cleaning is vital to the overall service life of a painted surface. However, when selecting a cleaner, be sure to use a non-abrasive cleaner. If cleaning a waterborne paint, avoid products that are ammoniated. Mild, soapy water will generally suffice. However, always test the cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area to ensure that it does not damage the paint film.

Occasionally I offer excess seedlings fresh out of flask which require special attention and care. Of utmost importance is not to let the pots completely dry out; especially with the Phrags! I'd suggest spraying down the compots every day with distilled water (this keeps up the humidity) and watering 2 X per week...1/2 strength fertilizer and completely flush the pot when watering. Your watering schedule will vary depending on your growing conditions..

There are 2 ways to attempt to remove this graffiti. The first is to try a non-hazardous vandal or graffiti mark remover. There are a number of products available to do this that can be purchased from hardware stores, janitorial suppliers, or chemical suppliers. The second way is to paint over the graffiti. The best procedure is to prime, or coat, the graffiti first with a stain block (shellac) and then paint the wall from corner to corner.

No, because it would bond to the paint rather than the substrate, and the Waterplug ® would eventually come loose with the paint still attached to it. To prevent this, prepare the area by removing paint and any loose material first, then apply Waterplug ®.

There are many different types of paint products with a varying degree of adhesion capabilities. Nansulate® can only adhere as well as the surface to which it is applied, so pre-existing paint should not be flaking or peeling at all. In some cases, Nansulate® will apply well over a pre-painted surface. In some cases, abrading the painted surface will benefit adhesion.

It is recommended you let a professional restorer do any restoration work.

All Original artwork is sent out in perfect condition. If it becomes damaged during shipping, you should send me an email.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Assuming your block has a finish on it, clean it like you would any wood surface, not allowing water to remain on the block for any length of time. DO NOT put it in a dishwasher! To help preserve your block if used as a cutting surface it would be advisable to periodically reseal ONLY the area in which you have cut. Mineral oil or vegetable oil can be used.

Hand painted oils are easy to maintain by cleaning them with a clean cloth that has been moistened with water.

Your new paint will have enough protection to ride full bore as soon as you receive it. Riding 600 miles now will be the same as doing it in 6 months. The only thing that you don't want to do for at least 12 weeks is wax it because the wax will trap solvents in the paint and dull the finish. When it does come time to wax you will see a night and day difference in the paint gloss!

The paint on a newly painted vehicle must be cured according to manufacturer's recommendations. Your body shop should be able to provide you with this information.

The industry standard for high-performance painted finishes is a 70% fluoropolymer, also known as Kynar 500® or Hylar 5000®. This class of finish is easy to maintain and is extremely resistant to wear and fading. All Kynar 500® and Hylar 5000® finishes meet or exceed the standards outlined in the AAMA 2605 specification. This type of finish is acceptable in both interior and exterior applications.

Water the newly planted tree 5-8 gallons every 2-3 days for the first 6 months. Remove any staking system after one year except when approaching a monsoon before the trimming season. Pruning should be completed by a professional only.

There are many different types of paint products with a varying degree of adhesion capabilities. Nansulate® will only adhere as well as the paint you are applying it over. In some cases, Nansulate® will apply well over a pre- painted surface. In some cases, abrading the painted surface will benefit adhesion. Our recommendation is you test the adhesion of Nansulate® to your particular surface paint on a small scale prior to doing a large

If the film is properly applied to a fully cured painted vehicle, it can be removed, usually in one piece, without damaging paint surfaces beneath the film. M recommends that any repainted surfaces on your vehicle be professionally painted and fully cured before applying paint protection film. If you have touched up scratches or chips with a tube of "touch-up" paint and then apply paint protection film over it, the film will protect that area until it is removed.

When acrylic paint drys sometimes small light coloured droplets will appear on the surface. This usually happens if the newly painted surface is exposed to moisture, either by dew, high humidity or rain on the outside or steam etc. on the inside. These droplets cause no downgrading of the paint film's durability. They only affect the appearance. Wash the surface with sugar soap, then rinse with plenty of water.

If the film is properly applied to a fully cured painted vehicle, it can be removed, usually in one piece, without damaging paint surfaces beneath the film.

Cured Sika sealants/adhesives can only removed mechanically.  Steps should be taken during application (taping off the area around the joint being sealed) to ensure that the material does not get onto unwanted areas. Sika® Remover-208 can be used to remove wet material that has been inadvertently applied to an unwanted area.

Each paint manufacturer will have suggested times for waiting before applying a second coat of paint and these suggestions should be followed for applying WALLIES. They may also provide an amount of time for curing the paint before doing anything else to its surface. Paint should definitely be completely dry before WALLIES application, but the best guideline is to follow manufacturer instructions.

Yes. Provided that the old paint coat is stable and not flaking, free of dirt, dust, grease and soluble salts, the limewash will adhere to previous paint coats. For interior surfaces we recommend you undercoat with BAUWERK Acrylic Primer Coat before applying limewash. This will prevent inconsistencies from passing through the old paint coat and affecting the limewash finish.

Yes! Milk Paint will water-spot white spots if it has not been sealed and something gets spilled on it. It will also spot if it is wiped with water or washed. Decorative pieces, walls etc., do not need to be sealed, but functional pieces should be. A bench, chair or similar piece of furniture can be waxed or oiled, which provides a nice finish an helps prevent water spotting.
