To do this simply press down onto the liquid with an absorbent tissue or dry towel until the area feels dry (do not try to wipe the liquid off as, this action will open up the fabric fibres and rub the spilled liquid into the fabric, causing damage to your fabric.) Your guarantee does not cover against the wear and tear to your fabric seats or carpets or carpet mats.

Nor does this guarantee or cover stone chips that were caused before during or after the smart cover application, nor does it cover marks or damage as a result of insect fluid, tree sap, birdlime, surface scratches resulting from the use of mechanical carwash brushes or any mechanical or hand carwash harsh wash detergents. Birdlime deposit and or tree sap contains harsh acids and will corrode through your paint work if left,,Using Smart cover birdlime remover in accordance to label instructions, will neatralise the area of acid attack if removed as soon as possible within the recommended time suggested by smart cover or the maximum of 2hours of the birdlime deposit. The Nanoplate coating will help slow down the acid attack process and work as a buffer zone, however no coating can permanently hold back the aggressive corroding process of acid in bird lime or tree sap to paintwork and or paint surface, Tree sap should also be neautralised as soon as possible as this too is an aggressive corrosive acid.

Tree sap can be neutralised by spraying with Nanodry wash & shield or hand carwash, using a good quality PH neutral non detergent shampoo.or spray nano drywash & shield as soon as possible to all affected panels, we recommend not to leave tree sap on your paintwork longer than 12 hours without treating the affected area with nano drywash & shield or hand washing your car, your aftercare products are designed to neautralise, birdlime and or tree sap failure to do so will invalidate your guarantee.

This is for exterior use only and for use on black plastic exterior non-painted trims such as wheel arch trims etc. Use as per label instructions this will keep your black plastic trims looking clean and shiny and stop UV bleaching and atmospheric build up when applied at regular intervals.

10. General

Do not wash vehicle with any shampoo detergents for 72hours (3-day) after paint coating application, to allow for curing , wipe away any petrol spills during this 72-hour period (3-day). Regular maintenance of Nanodry wash & shield is important and recommended, regular use of Nanodry wash & shield will not harm your paintwork and will remove all unwanted harsh build up of contaminants and continue to build further coating and preserve the non stick properties to your paint surface. Avoid mechanical carwash use, as the harsh brushing will scratch the coating. Avoid using dirty or old chamois leathers or harsh cloth. Avoid placing chamois leathers or cloth or micro fibre cloth on the floor, as fine pieces of dirt will become embedded in these materials and will scratch your paint surface should they be used We guarantee the effectiveness of smart cover paint coating for 6-years and interior repellent for a period of 2-years from date of application on new and used cars when applied by a smart cover UK approved outlet only and subject to terms and conditions.

THE FACTS OF PDR

1. ASSESSING FOR PDR
(What we need to achieve a successful PDR repair)
a. Assessable Location to dent.
b. Good tool Access.
c. Tool tip contact to rear of dent.
d. Acceptable dent size in PDR terms. (SEE PARAGRAPH 3)
e. An acceptable and realistic PDR repair time of 1 hour maximum.
f. To accomplish a quality finish without paint damage.
g. Acceptable working reflection
The success rate of any PDR repair is dependent on 7 main facts; all these 7 facts are part of the assessment made by a technician in the decision that determines if a quality repair is achievable by PDR process.

1. The location of the dent (i.e.; can the rear of the dent be reached by the tool tip in that area?)
2. Can access be gained to the dent (i.e.; is the dent concealed behind a sealed crash bar or box section etc?)?
3. Can the tool tip make contact to the back surface of the dent? (The tool tip has to touch the back, for dent removal process)
3. Is the size acceptable to achieve a quality finish within an acceptable PDR repair time?
4. Can a finish be achieved without causing paint damage or paint surface damage?
5. Is there existing visible damage or body filler to the repair area before starting? (Broken or scuffed paint)
6. Does anything impede my reflection? (Our repair technique requires using reflection to complete a quality finish)
7. Can a repair be carried out within a PDR repair time 1 hour (PDR tools have been designed to remove certain size dings and dents within the sizes stated in these terms and conditions, being over ambitious may sometimes result in a satisfactory repair, but may also stop a technician from fulfilling their daily agreed booking schedule for our members.

The whole objective is for the tool tip to be able to reach the back of the dent to then create a massage technique to the whole area of the back of the dent surface and to complete a repair without creating permanent damage to the surface of the paint.

m. It is suspected there is body filler within the area to be repaired.
n. Dents to large in size or outside the “PDR repair time” (please see definitions section)
The type of dents caused to these panels are deemed as not repairable by PDR and not what PDR tools were designed to deal with and may not result in a satisfactory repair for both technician and customer.)
