Cleaning the vehicle regularly can slow down the color fading of its body and
make it easier to check if there is any damage and any oil leakage.
1- After pre-wiping, the vehicle should be washed with clean water to
remove dirty residues so as to prevent corrosion. Plastic subassemblies
should be cleaned by wiping with a cloth or foam soaked in neutral
detergent solution, followed by washing with clean water.
2- After the cleaned vehicle is air dried, grease the chain and run the engine
at idling speed for a few minutes.
3- Prior to driving, carefully check the braking system repeatedly and repair
or adjust it if necessary.

pressure water:
