Troubleshooting

Color change not working

Ensure you are using distinctly warm and icy cold water. The temperature difference is crucial for the effect. Make sure the car is fully submerged for a few seconds in each temperature.

Paint seems to be fading or peeling

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can degrade the color-changing coating. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap only, and rinse thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Car not changing back to original color

Ensure the water used is sufficiently cold (icy cold is recommended). Sometimes, a slight residual warmth on the car can prevent the original color from reappearing immediately. Try a fresh batch of very cold water.

Care: To maintain the color-changing properties, rinse the car with clean water after play to remove any soap or debris.

Ensure the car is completely dry before storage.
