Appearance Care
Plastic Part Maintenance
When cleaning the plastic lenses of
the lights, do not use petrol, paraf ¿ n,
recti ¿ ed spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolour or damage the
surfaces resulting in a signi
¿ cant loss
in functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents,
À ush with water
immediately.
If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or
À uids such as petrol,
oil, engine coolant, or battery À uid, it
could cause discolouration, staining,
or paint peeling. Wipe off any such
chemical agents or
À uids using a soft
cloth immediately.
High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure
car washer device. If the car washer
nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended period
of time, it could deform plastic parts or
damage the paint.
Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
In addition, do not use an electrical or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result
in deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.
