MAINTENANCE
Polishing the Paintwork
DO NOT use car polish containing coarse
abrasives – these will remove the paint film
and damage the gloss finish.
Occasionally treat the paint surface with an approved polish
containing the following properties:
• Very mild abrasives to remove surface contamination
without removing or damaging the paint.
• Filling compounds that will fill scratches and reduce
their visibility.
• Wax to provide a protective coating between the paint
and the elements.
Note: If possible, avoid applying polish or wax
products to window glass and rubber seals.
Wiper Blades
Wash in warm soapy water. DO NOT use spirit or petrol
based cleaners.
Windows and Mirrors
Regularly clean all windows, inside and out, using an
approved glass cleaner.
Windscreen: In particular, clean the outside of the screen
with glass cleaner after washing the car with wash and wax
products, and before fitting new wiper blades.
Rear screen: Clean the inside with a soft cloth, using a side
to side motion to avoid damaging the heating elements.
Note: DO NOT scrape or use abrasive cleaners on the
inside of the rear screen – this will damage the heating
elements.
Mirrors: Wash with soapy water. Use a plastic scraper to
remove ice. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning compounds
or metal scraper.
Plastic Components
Any plastic components should be cleaned using
conventional cleaning methods and not be treated with
abrasive materials.
