Know which BEAST product is installed

BEAST, BEAST PRO and BEAST 365 have different roles and initial stages. The published pages list first washing at 14 days and full cure at 30 days, but that shared interval does not make the products interchangeable. Keep the exact installation record and follow the instructions supplied for it.

If a base coat or later maintenance layer was used, the complete system may need additional guidance.

Make the first permitted wash gentle

Use compatible pH-neutral automotive shampoo at the stated dilution. Pre-rinse loose dirt, wash with clean media and light contact, then rinse thoroughly. Dry with suitable clean towels or clean forced air where appropriate. Keep wheel equipment separate from paint equipment.

Avoid adding strong decontamination or several toppers to a new installation without a diagnosed need. A straightforward wash gives a clearer view of the finish.

Handle problems promptly

Early bird contamination or rain should be discussed with the installer rather than ignored until the wash date or treated with an improvised cleaner. Later, investigate mineral spots or reduced beading before deciding on renewal. Follow any applicable written maintenance obligations. The BEAST, BEAST PRO and BEAST 365 pages provide product-specific starting points for the care plan.
