Proper tools will improve the quality of installation and reduce the time required.

To protect the product, wax after installing. Regular waxing is recommended 

to add a protective layer over the finish. Do not use any type of polish or wax 

that may contain abrasives that could damage the finish.

For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, 

polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs on the finish.

Mild automotive detergent may be used to clean the product. 

Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, 

wire brushes or other similar products that may damage the finish.
