To apply the conserver we recommend that once per month, after a normal shampooing of your vehicle that you then take a clean bucket of water add 2 capfuls of the Conserver and apply over the paintwork with a sponge. Then rinse off the car with clean water, and to get the best results leather off. The reason for applying the conserver after you have washed the car normally is to ensure the Conserver gets directly on the paint and does its job, which is to bolster the protection on your car. Also you can apply the conserver via a car wash by putting the 2 capfuls of the product on the front wings and bonnet; this is then spread back across the paint work as the brushes move along your car (Full instructions are on the bottle).
