Exterior Chrome Parts
•
Apply a high quality-cleaning product
to bumpers and other chrome parts.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
We recommend Motorcraft Custom
Bright Metal Cleaner.
•
Do not apply the cleaning product to
hot surfaces. Do not leave the cleaning
product on chrome surfaces longer
than the time recommended.
•
Using non-recommended cleaners can
result in severe and permanent
cosmetic damage.
Note:
Never use abrasive materials, for
example steel wool or plastic pads as they
can scratch the chrome surface.
Note:
Do not use chrome cleaner, metal
cleaner or polish on wheels or wheel covers.
Exterior Plastic Parts
For routine cleaning we recommend
Motorcraft Detail Wash. If tar or grease
spots are present, we recommend
Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
Stripes or Graphics
(If Equipped)
Hand washing your vehicle is preferred
however, pressure washing may be used
under the following conditions:
•
Do not use water pressure higher than
2,000 psi (14,000 kPa).
•
Do not use water hotter than 179°F
(82°C).
•
Use a spray with a 40° wide spray
angle pattern.
•
Keep the nozzle at a 12 in (305 mm)
distance and 90° angle to your
vehicle's surface.
Note:
Holding the pressure washer nozzle
at an angle to the vehicle's surface may
damage graphics and cause the edges to
peel away from the vehicle's surface.
Underbody
Regularly clean the underside of your
vehicle using water. Keep body and door
drain holes free of debris or foreign
material.
Under Hood
For removing black rubber marks from
under the hood we recommend Motorcraft
Wheel and Tire Cleaner or Motorcraft Bug
and Tar Remover.
WAXING
Regular waxing is necessary to protect your
car's paint from the elements. We
recommend that you wash and wax the
painted surface once or twice a year.
When washing and waxing, park your
vehicle in a shaded area out of direct
sunlight. Always wash your vehicle before
applying wax.
•
Use a quality wax that does not contain
abrasives.
•
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
to apply and remove the wax.
•
Apply a small amount of wax in a
back-and-forth motion, not in circles.
•
Do not allow wax to come in contact
with any non-body (low-gloss black)
colored trim. The wax will discolor or
stain the parts over time.
•
Roof racks.
•
Bumpers.
•
Grained door handles.
•
Side moldings.
•
Mirror housings.
•
Windshield cowl area.
•
Do not apply wax to glass areas.
•
After waxing, your car's paint should
feel smooth, and be free of streaks and
smudges.
