NOTE
The strength of the paint surface of the car body
is sufficient to withstand the washing of the
automatic car washer. However, the effects on
the paint surface must be paid attention to. The
structure of the automatic car 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.
Manual car washing
–
Rinse the car with plenty of water to remove
floating dust.
–
Prepare a bucket of water and add a special
cleaning agent for car washing to it.
–
Gently scrub the car with a soft cloth, sponge,
or soft brush, and rinse it several times from
top to bottom.
–
Rinse the parts such as wheels and door sills
at last. Replace sponges or soft cloth when
washing the car.
–
After scrubbing, rinse the car thoroughly with
plenty of water.
–
After washing, carefully dry the paint surface
of the car using a soft towel or antelope skin.
NOTE
When the car body has dirt such as asphalt, it
needs to be cleaned with a special cleaning
agent, and then rinsed with clean water to avoid
damaging the surface finish of the car body.
Check the body for paint peeling and scratches
while wiping the body. If any, drive to the GAC
Motor authorized shop for touch-up.
When using a steam cleaner or a high-pressure
cleaner to wash the car, be sure to be very
careful. Be sure to wash the car in accordance
with the operation instructions and requirements of
the steam cleaner or high-pressure cleaner. Pay
attention to the working pressure, temperature and
spraying distance:
–
When using a steam cleaner or a high-
pressure cleaner to wash the car, keep a
sufficient water spray distance from the car,
and ensure the temperature does not exceed
60°C.
–
If the car is equipped with an electric sunroof,
keep the water spray distance more than 80
cm when washing the car. If the high-
pressure cleaner is close to the car, or if
excessive pressure or temperature is used,
the car may be damaged.
–
Do not wash the radar sensor or parking
camera with a high-pressure cleaner for a
long time; when washing the radar sensors or
parking assist cameras, keep the water spray
distance more than 30 cm.
WARNING
•
When washing the car manually, pay
attention to personal safety and beware
of angular parts at the bottom of the car
to avoid being scratched.
•
When washing the car, pay special
attention to the bottom of the car and
the inner side of wheelhouses. Do not
hurt hands and arms with sharp parts.
•
Never spray water directly into the
engine compartment when washing the
car. Otherwise, it will affect the service
life of various parts and components in
the engine compartment.
