  • To avoid permanent duco damage, wash your car regularly with as little additives and pressure as possible.
  • Try to wash the car on lawn so the run off is not wasted.
  • Some contaminants such as bird droppings on a hot day, react very quickly and may need to be removed immediately.
  • Use premium quality sponges, micro-fibre cloths and chamois to wash and dry your car.
  • Avoid leaving your car in harsh weather conditions.
  • Keep your car garaged as much as possible.
  • Apply good quality barrier duco protection (polishes, waxes, sealers) on a regular basis. In the long run these protectors will pay for themselves.
  • Make sure the duco is reasonably cool before you wash your car.

    Do not:
  • Let the soapy water enter storm water drains.
  • Allow anyone to wash your car unless they can dispose of the wash water in a legal and environmentally friendly way.
  • Wash your car in direct sunlight.
  • Use 'Windex' or any amonia based cleaner on your tinted windows

    Did you know?
  • Automatic car washes use excessive water, strong detergents, high-pressure water and heat. This combination is not only damaging to your duco, but is extremely wasteful and toxic to the environment.
  • Mild detergent has good water retention properties so is an added bonus to your lawn in dry weather.
  • The dirt and contaminants on your car react with the painted surface. The longer they stay on the car the greater the damage will be.
  • Brake pads are made of black copper oxide. This is the black dust that coates your wheels. Unfortunately copper is a heavy metal and is poisonous to the enviroment. This poison is easly removed in our Blue Planet seperation tanks, but flows straight into our water ways if you dont use a properly established commercial car wash.
