Polestar 2 2020, Manual

High-pressure
washing
The car should be washed as soon as it
becomes dirty. The longer the car is left dirty, the
more difficult it will be to get it completely clean
and there is a risk of scratching the paintwork.
Wash the car in a car wash with oil separator.
Use car shampoo.
When using high-pressure washing, use sweep-
ing movements and make sure that the nozzle
does not come closer than 30 cm (13 in.) to the
surface of the car. Do not spray directly onto the
locks.
