Service Procedures

This product is not a "Dressing" and the use of ValuGard ETR must be performed per the following instructions to obtain the proper results.

WARNING:
For hand protection, wear the surgical gloves similar to the pair provided with the ValuGard kit. Follow all safety precautions listed on product containers and the material safety data sheets.

NOTE:
DO NOT apply to hot parts or while car is in direct sunlight. This may cause the product to dry too quickly and unevenly.

1. Using soft, clean, lint free towels, clean the discolored parts with ValuGard New Car Prep to remove all waxes, silicones, grease and other contaminants.

2. Wipe the part dry with a soft, clean lint free towel. Make sure the part being refinished is completely dry before proceeding to the next step.

3. Shake the bottle of ValuGard Color Gard well.

4. Apply a small amount of ValuGard Color Gard (3 to 4 drops) to the gray sponge supplied with the kit.

5. Using the gray sponge, apply an even coat of black ValuGard Color Gard to the part. Work the color into the part in one direction and then repeat the process in a crosswise direction to even out the color. If necessary, go over the part, moving the sponge along a third direction. Move the sponge evenly; moving it too fast will cause air bubbles to form. Minimize the bubbles, but do not attempt to remove tall bubbles from the treated part. Allow 5-10 minutes to dry.

6. Inspect the part for complete and even coverage. If necessary, apply a second coat of ValuGard Color Gard (repeat steps 3-5). Be sure the bottle of ValuGard Color Gard is well shaken!

NOTE:
Color Gard that is accidentally applied to paint surfaces on the vehicle may be easily removed with the New Car Prep Product.

7. Following the 5 to 10 minute drying time for the ValuGard Color Gard, shake the bottle of white ValuGard U.V. Gard well.

8. Apply a small amount of ValuGard U.V. Gard (3 to 4 drops) to the white sponge included with the kit.

9. Using the white sponge, apply an even coat of white ValuGard U.V. Gard to the part. Allow a 5 to 10 minute drying time. Before the paint fully dries, be sure that there are no bubbles. If any bubbles are present, work them into the part.

10. Inspect the part for complete and even coverage. If necessary, apply a second light coat of ValuGard U.V. Gard to even out the surface (repeat steps 7-9).

NOTE:
DO NOT expose treated part to any water or water based cleaner for 24 hours.

NOTE:
DO NOT throw away used sponges. They may be reused. Rinse out sponges following use, with water. Make sure the sponges are completely dry before they are reused. Application of the ValuGard product to the sponges softens and reactivates the sponges, allowing for multiple use.

NOTE:
Store all unused products and dispose of used material according to Federal, State and Local requirements.
