REPAIRING MINOR PAINT DAMAGE
Your authorized dealer has touch-up paint to match your vehicle’s color.
Take your color code (printed on a sticker in the driver’s door jamb) to
your authorized dealer to make sure you get the correct color.
•
Remove particles, such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout, before repairing paint chips.
•
Always read the instructions before using the products.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Note:
To prevent damage to the engine control module, never
spray-wash it directly. Never spray any connector.
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
build-up keep the engine warmer than normal.
When washing:
•
Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
•
Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the
engine block or other engine components.
•
Spray Motorcraft® Engine Shampoo and Degreaser on all parts that
require cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In Canada, use Motorcraft®
Engine Shampoo.
•
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is hot or running; water in
the running engine may cause internal damage.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES
The windows and wiper blades should be cleaned regularly. If the wipers
do not wipe properly, substances on the vehicle’s glass or the wiper
blades may cause squeaking or chatter noise from the blades, and
streaking and smearing of the windshield. To clean these items, follow
these tips:
•
The windows may be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner, such as
Motorcraft® Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner.
•
The wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or
Motorcraft® Premium Windshield Washer Concentrate in the U.S., or
Premium Quality Windshield Washer Fluid in Canada. Be sure to
replace wiper blades when they appear worn or do not function
properly.
•
Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.
•
Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.
