Electric vehicles like Tesla, Polestar, Genesis, and BYD set new standards in technology, design, and sustainability. Their innovative materials and surfaces require special care to maintain their value. In this article, you will learn how to properly clean, maintain, and protect your electric vehicle – with a focus on the interior, paintwork, and special protective films (PPF).
Interior Care for Vegan Leather, Textiles & Modern Plastics
Many electric vehicles use innovative materials such as vegan leather, recycled textiles, and advanced plastics. To clean and protect these delicate materials, specialized products are necessary:
Cleaning Vegan Leather
Use the Vegan Leather Cleaner to gently clean vegan leather surfaces, such as those used in Tesla models. Apply the cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the surface with gentle pressure. This keeps the material supple and maintains its original appearance.
Caring for Textiles and Plastics
Modern textiles and plastics in the interior can be effectively cleaned using the Interior Care Set Medium. It removes dirt and contaminants thoroughly without harming delicate materials.
Paint Care and Protection for Modern Electric Vehicles
The paintwork of an electric vehicle, just like that of traditional combustion engine cars, needs protection from dirt and environmental influences. Thorough cleaning and sealing preserve the paint and ensure a glossy finish.
Step 1: Thorough Hand Wash
Start with the SWISSVAX Handwash Collection to gently remove dirt from the paint. Use soft sponges and cloths to avoid scratches.
Step 2: Paint Sealing with Wax and/or Ceramic
Polish your vehicle with SWISSVAX Cleaner Fluids, by hand or with a machine, to remove scratches and achieve a smooth, glossy surface. Then, apply SWISSVAX Wax by hand, allow it to dry, and polish it to a high shine.
For maximum protection, use the Keramiq9 Kit, which can be applied on top of the wax. It provides a long-lasting hydrophobic protective layer that shields the paint from UV rays, dirt, and water spots.
Step 3: Quick Sealing for Maintenance
The Lotos Speed Quick Detailing Spray is ideal for quick maintenance. It creates a smooth, water-repellent surface and refreshes the gloss.
Protection and Care for PPF (Paint Protection Film)
Many electric vehicles like Tesla and Polestar come equipped with a Paint Protection Film (PPF) to guard against scratches and stone chips. With the PPF Protection Set, you can clean and protect the film. This specialized care helps maintain the film’s appearance, gloss, and flexibility.
