WASHING THE EXTERIOR
Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water and a neutral
Ph shampoo, such as Motorcraft Detail Wash (ZC-3–A), which is available
from your dealer.
•
Do not drive your vehicle through an automated, commercial
car wash due to the vehicle’s low ground clearance, tire width
and track. Wash your vehicle by hand, with a commercial wand,
or by using a touchless commercial wash with no mechanical
tracks on the floor.
•
Never use strong household detergents or soap, such as dish washing
or laundry liquid. These products can discolor and spot painted
surfaces.
•
Never wash a vehicle that is “hot to the touch” or during exposure to
strong, direct sunlight.
•
Always use a clean sponge or car wash mitt with plenty of water for
best results.
•
Dry the vehicle with a chamois or soft terry cloth towel in order to
eliminate water spotting.
•
It is especially important to wash the vehicle regularly during the
winter months, as dirt and road salt are difficult to remove and cause
damage to the vehicle.
•
Immediately remove items such as gasoline, diesel fuel, bird droppings
and insect deposits because they can cause damage to the vehicle’s
paintwork and trim over time.
•
Suntan lotions and insect repellents can damage any painted
surface; if these substances come in contact with your vehicle,
wash off as soon as possible.
