Waxing
Regular waxing can protect the paint surface
of the vehicle body and keep the vehicle body
clean. In order to effectively protect the paint
surface of the vehicle body, it is recommended
to apply high-quality hard wax once a year to
protect the paint surface against corrosion by
external bad environments and to resist light
mechanical scratch.
Be sure to wipe the appearance of the entire
vehicle dry before waxing. Before waxing
the vehicle, please select a high-quality
wax protectant. High-quality wax protectant
generally falls into the following two types:
-
Vehicle body wax: a wax used to protect
the paint surface against damage by
external bad environments such as sun
exposure and air pollution. This type of
wax is generally used for new vehicles.
-
Polishing wax: a wax which can restore
the gloss of the paint surface that has
been oxidized or tarnished. This type of
wax is generally used to restore the gloss
of paint surface.
Cleaning and maintenance of external
plastic parts
External plastic parts are generally washed
with clean water, soft cloth and soft brushes. If
they cannot be cleaned, please use the special
solvent-free plastics cleaner approved by our
company.
CAUTION
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents
when washing plastic parts. Otherwise, it is
easy to damage the plastic parts.
Washing of window glasses and rearview
mirrors
Clean the window glasses and rearview
mirrors with alcohol-based glass cleaner, and
then wipe the glass surface dry with a clean,
lint-free soft cloth or antelope skin.
After curing the surface of the vehicle body,
remove the wax residue on the glasses with
a special cleaning agent and cleaning cloth.
Avoid scratching the wiper blades.
Remove snow from the windows and rearview
mirrors using a small brush.
Remove accumulated ice using de-icer spray.
An ice shovel can also be used, but special
care must be taken to avoid damage to the
components, and ice must be shaved in the
same direction.
