CAUTION
The strength of the body paint surface is
sufficient to withstand the washing of the
automatic vehicle washer, but attention
must be paid to the impact on the paint
surface. The structure of the automatic
vehicle washer, the cleaning agent, the
filtering state of the clean water, and the
type of wax solvent that do not meet the
requirements may cause damage to the
paint surface.
