Guide Safety & Use · version 2026-08-26
A reference for the garage—not a substitute for judgment.
Read this notice before previewing, buying, downloading, or using a RestorationEssentials guide. It covers workshop hazards, vehicle variation, critical-spec verification, and the limits of editorial material.
Informational and editorial use only
RestorationEssentials guides are informational/editorial references. A guide is not a factory service manual, inspection, engineering advice, or a substitute for a qualified mechanic or other appropriately trained professional. Use qualified judgment for every repair, fabrication, diagnosis, lift, road test, and safety decision.
The current notice version is 2026-08-26. Professional legal review is still required for jurisdiction-specific purchase, warranty, refund, and other terms; this notice does not claim legal sufficiency.
Restoration work can injure you
Restoration work can involve crushing, falls, burns, fire, fuel vapors, electrical energy, batteries, chemicals, solvents, pressurized systems, sharp edges, rotating parts, welding, and hazardous dust or fumes. Use appropriate PPE, ventilation, fire protection, spill control, lockout or isolation practices, and safe lifting and support. Never rely on a jack alone; use correctly rated stands and supports and follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Read the vehicle’s current service documentation before starting. Disconnect or isolate energy sources when appropriate, keep ignition sources away from fuel and vapors, protect wiring from short circuits, and have a qualified person check work that affects steering, braking, suspension, fuel, restraint, structural, or high-voltage systems.
Verify the exact vehicle and specification
Year, model, trim, market, build date, replacement parts, prior repairs, modifications, and present condition can change what applies. Before relying on a critical instruction, verify torque, clearance, wiring, fluid, fastener, fitment, VIN, and date-code specifications against the actual vehicle and authoritative sources for that configuration.
A guide may describe a representative configuration or a documented example. It does not establish that every part on a particular vehicle is original, correct, safe, or numbers-matching.
Sources, omissions, and revisions
Editorial sources may be incomplete, conflict with one another, use uncertain terminology, or omit a variation. We may revise a guide when a sourced discrepancy is identified, but a revision process is not a promise that a guide is complete, current, or error-free. Preserve the source documents and use the newest authoritative service information you can obtain.
If you find a possible error or conflict, stop before relying on the instruction, document the vehicle and source details, and contact restorationessentials@polsia.app. We can review an editorial correction, but support cannot substitute for a safety inspection or professional diagnosis.
No restoration or safety guarantee
The guide does not guarantee safety, a concours result, an authenticity result, parts availability, restoration cost, labor time, fitment, or any particular restoration outcome. The buyer remains responsible for selecting suitable parts, verifying work, and deciding whether a result is safe and appropriate.
For purchase questions or a possible correction, contact restorationessentials@polsia.app with the order or guide details. There is no blanket 48-hour refund promise in this notice; any refund request is handled through the actual operator and payment-operations path available for the order, and a card-issuer chargeback remains with the issuer.
