4.
After cleaning, rinse the vehicle

alloy parts.
5. Dry the vehicle, start the engine, and
let it run for several minutes.

Several applications may be necessary
to restore normal braking performance.

after washing and drying the vehicle.
Braking efficiency may be temporarily
impaired immediately after washing the
vehicle.
Anticipate longer stopping distance to avoid
a possible accident.
Finishing Touches
After washing your vehicle, consider using
a commercially-available spray cleaner/
polish or quality liquid or paste wax to
finish the job. Use only a non abrasive
polish or wax made specifically for vehicles
or automobiles. Apply the polish or wax
according to the instructions on the
container.
If a surface on your vehicle is chipped or
scratched, your Honda dealer has touch up
paint to match your vehicle’s colour. Be sure
to use your vehicle’s colour code (page 48)
when you buy touch-up paint.
Removing Road Salt
The salt contained in the road surface
freezing prevention medicine which a
road was sprayed with in winter, and the
seawater becomes the cause which rust
occurs in.
Wash your vehicle by the following point
after it runs through such a place.
1. Clean the vehicle using cool water
(page 74).
Do not use warm water.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
2. Dry the vehicle and the surface of the
metal is protected with the wax.
