BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
(continued)
You should
-
Wash your car frequently with
cleaning products recommended
by RENAULT (never use abrasive
products) and be sure to rinse the
wheel arches and underneath the
body to eliminate:
- spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
-
bird droppings
, which contain
chemicals
that rapidly discolour
paintwork and may even cause
the paint to peel off
:
The vehicle
must be
washed
immediately to remove these
marks since it is impossible to
remove them by polishing.
- salt deposited in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after
driving in areas where the roads
have been gritted,
- mud in the wheel arches and
underneath the body which forms
damp patches.
-
Observe the vehicle stopping
distances when driving on
gravelled surfaces to prevent paint
damage.
- Repair, or have repaired quickly,
areas where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading.
- Remember to visit the body shop
periodically in order to maintain
your RENAULT anti-corrosion
warranty. Refer to the Warranty
and Services booklet.
-
Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
- Check the mounting of external
accessories, additional lights, door
mirrors, etc. and attach the
windscreen wiper blades and radio
aerial with adhesive tape before
entering a roller type car wash.
If your vehicle has a car phone,
remove the aerials.
-
Spray mechanical components,
hinges, etc. with products
approved by RENAULT’s Technical
Department to protect them after
they have been cleaned.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you
can obtain these from RENAULT
accessory outlets.
