Washing your vehicle
Wash the vehicle often, particularly in coastal areas or where salt or chemicals are
in the air or used on the roads. Use warm or cold water. As time goes on, tree sap,
insects and road grime or tar may be difficult to remove with water alone. Use a
mild soap solution or suitable mild detergent for washing, then rinse with clear water
immediately.
Touching up paintwork
After washing, paintwork should be inspected for chips. Touch up affected areas
immediately with automotive matching paint.
Underbody cleaning
Regular hosing of the underbody will assist in preventing corrosion. In areas of
heavy concentrations of corrosive materials the entire underbody should be
thoroughly washed and inspected frequently, particularly in wet seasons. Remove
any accumulated mud, salt, sand and debris from the engine undershield and other
affected components.
Polishing
The vehicle should be washed and dried before being polished. Use only recognized
quality waxes and polishes. In areas of industrial fall-out, dust, heavy rain, salt-air,
frequent parking under trees, the additional protection of a suitable polish or wax is
advised.
Bright metal parts
Do not clean bright metal parts with steel wool or harsh abrasive materials.
