NOTE
x
Do not use a wire brush or any
abrasive cleaner, polishing
compound, or solvent on aluminium
wheels. They may damage the
coating.
x
Always use a sponge or soft cloth to
clean the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with
lukewarm or cold water. Also, be
sure to clean the wheels after driving
on dusty or salted roads to help
prevent corrosion.

high-speed or hard brushes.

Plastic Part Maintenance
x
When cleaning the plastic lenses of
the lights, do not use petrol, paraffin,
rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these
chemical agents can discolour or
damage the surfaces resulting in a
significant loss in functionality. If
plastic parts become inadvertently
exposed to any of these chemical
agents, flush with water immediately.
x
If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as
coolant, or lead-acid battery fluid, it
could cause discolouration, staining,
or paint peeling. Wipe off any such
chemical agents or fluids using a soft
cloth immediately.
x
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.
x
Do not use wax containing
compounds (polish). Otherwise, it
could result in paint damage.
x
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.
