SERVICE TIP:
Installing a Honda accessory nose mask for your customer? A nose mask does a great job protecting a vehicle's front end from road nasties and looks cool, too but if it's installed over a wet surface or if it gets wet and isn't allowed to dry out, it can cloud the paint. Here are some important tips to keep in mind when installing a nose mask:

- Make sure both the vehicle and the nose mask are clean and completely dry before you install the mask. If moisture under the nose mask is allowed to dry, it can cloud the paint.

- If the nose mask gets wet, take it off as soon as possible, and let it completely air-dry.

- Make sure any repainted surfaces the nose mask touches are cured.

- Make sure the hood and the nose of the vehicle are waxed with a high-quality paste wax.

You'll find this info included in the installation instructions. Make sure you leave the installation instructions with your customer so he or she will know how to install and remove the nose mask correctly and avoid damaging the paint.
