
Wash the vehicle and allow to dry as described above. Check if the
GRP add-on parts are clean and dry.

Apply the polisher with a soft cloth evenly on the surface of the GRP
add-on part.

Wait until a light grey film forms.

Wipe the GRP add-on part with a dry, soft cloth. Move the cloth in cir-
cles over the surface of the GRP add-on part.
We recommend using a polishing machine for this work.

Paint protection has to be used to preserve the polish. Please read the
instructions of the paint protection for details on how to apply it.
11.1.6 Underbody
The underbody of the vehicle is partly coated with an age-resistant under-
body protection. Should the underbody protection be damaged, repair imme-
diately. Do not treat areas coated with underbody protection with spray oil.

Only use products approved by the manufacturer. Our authorised deal-
ers and service centres will be happy to advise you.
11.1.7 Engine compartment

Cleaning and care of the engine compartment may only be carried out
while the ignition is switched on.

Let the engine cool down before carrying out any work in the engine
compartment. There is a danger of burns when touching motor compo-
nents that are still hot!

Before carrying out any work in the engine compartment, read and ob-
serve the corresponding warning and handling instructions in the operat-
ing manual of the base vehicle manufacturer.

Have an engine washing only carried out by an authorised specialist
workshop.

Do not aim the steam jet directly at the lamp housings, actuators or
seals. This may prevent humidity in the headlights and the defects re-
sulting therefrom.

Do not aim the steam jet at the windscreen wiper motor and the wiper
mechanics.

Only apply protective engine lacquer when the components in the en-
gine compartment have cooled down and are clean.

Only use lubricants, greases and fluids authorised by the base vehicle
manufacturer.
The body manufacturer excludes any guarantee for damages, leaks, or the
failure or electrical components that appear after an engine washing.
