Electric vehicles like Tesla, Polestar, Genesis, and BYD are setting new standards in technology, design, and sustainability. Their innovative materials and surfaces deserve special care to preserve their value. In this article, learn how to optimally clean, care for, and protect your electric vehicle – with a focus on the interior, paint, and special protection films (PPF).
Interior Care for Vegan Leather, Textiles & Modern Plastics
Many electric vehicles use innovative materials such as vegan leather, recycled textiles, and high-tech plastics. Specialized products are required to clean and protect these sensitive materials:
Cleaning Vegan Leather
Use the Vegan Leather Cleaner to gently clean vegan leather surfaces, such as those used in Tesla vehicles. Apply the cleaner to a soft cloth and clean the surface with light 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 thoroughly removes dirt and contaminants without harming the sensitive materials.
Paint Care and Protection for Modern Electric Vehicles
The paint on an electric vehicle, like that of traditional combustion engine vehicles, must be protected from dirt and environmental influences. Thorough cleaning and sealing prevent damage to the paint and ensure a glossy finish.
Step 1: Thorough Hand Washing
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 using SWISSVAX Cleaner Fluids, either by hand or with a machine, to remove scratches and achieve a smooth, glossy paint surface. Then, apply SWISSVAX Wax to the vehicle by hand, allow it to dry, and gently polish it to a high gloss.
For maximum protection, the Keramiq9 Kit is recommended. It can be applied on top of the wax to create a long-lasting, hydrophobic protective layer over the paint that shields it 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 provides a smooth, water-repellent surface and refreshes the shine.
Protection and Care for PPF (Paint Protection Film)
Many electric vehicles, like Tesla or Polestar, are equipped with paint protection film (PPF) that shields the paint from scratches and stone chips. The PPF Protection Set allows you to clean and protect the film. It provides specialized care for Paint Protection Films, helping to maintain their appearance, gloss, and elasticity.
