CARE OF PAINTWORK
The long-term effects of mater-
ials that are damaging to paint
can be prevented by regular
vehicle washes, particularly if
your vehicle is ridden in areas
susceptible to high levels of air
pollution or natural contamina-
tion, for example tree resin or
pollen.
Particularly aggressive mater-
ials, however, should be re-
moved immediately, otherwise
changes to or discolouration
of the paint can result. These
