It often happens that car bodies get stained with paints or resins that adhere to the paint. Removing these types of contaminants without special precautions can damage the bodywork.

For this, specific products are used, indicated according to the type of abrasion needed for cleaning and based on the color of the vehicle. Apply the paste to a cloth and wipe it over the dirt.

Once the stain is removed, polish the area that may have streaks or, in the worst case, scratches with another paste. Once the area is clean, use a suitable product for polishing the body, chosen based on its color.
