Graphene
If you are thinking of using graphene on your car to protect it from weather conditions, heat, dirt, and bird droppings, there are some tips you should know after applying it to your car in order to maintain it and get the best results from it.
Although graphene is a strong and solid material, it also needs care, by following specific washing instructions and using specific materials so that it is not damaged and the paint is not damaged either, especially since the car is exposed to many factors that lead to damage to the graphene and paint.
You can request a car protection service in Kuwait through the Motorgy website to protect your car as quickly as possible with the best results and at the best prices. All you have to do is book an appointment for the service, and the team will be at your doorstep to pick up the car, install the protection, and return it to you fully protected.

How do you maintain graphene on your car?
Below are the most important tips for maintaining graphene on your car for as long as possible:
During the first 24 hours
The first 24 hours or the first day after applying graphene is the most important stage because it needs to dry and harden and begin to effectively protect the car. Therefore, try to expose your car to any contaminants such as sand, dust, and dirt, park it under trees, keep it away from bird droppings and anything else that could damage the graphene, and try to park it in a closed garage so that it dries without any problems.
First week
During the first week, you can wash your car with a hose and a soft microfiber towel if it has been exposed to dirt, bird droppings, or other problems. It is not recommended to use detergents or soaps that contain chemicals. Instead, you can use soap or cleaning products specifically designed for graphene. It can be dried using a special towel or by blowing strong air onto the body until it flows completely and leaves no trace.

Wash only when necessary
Washing when necessary is best with graphene. Some people are accustomed to washing their cars weekly or even several times a week, but this is not suitable for graphene because it exposes it to fading and damage. Therefore, wash your car when it gets very dirty using water and suitable soap, and remove bird droppings immediately before using water.
A quick wash is always better
Don't spend hours washing your car when it has graphene on it. A quick wash is better and more suitable for it. The less you rub the bodywork, the better. It is best to use soft gloves and special soap, then rinse it with a hose, a manual or electric pump, or even a bucket. Make sure to dry it with a microfiber towel or strong air.
Always dry the car with a microfiber cloth
Drying the car after washing with a microfiber towel is very important to achieve maximum shine and ensure the best results. Using tap water may leave some residue on the body if you let the car dry on its own. Here, you should use the towel without applying too much pressure to absorb the water, then use a second cloth to dry the car completely.
