Washing tthe vvehicle b
by h
hand
❀
In tthe iinterests o
of e
environmental
protection tthe v
vehicle s
should
only b
be w
washed iin s
specially p
provided
wash b
bays. IIn s
some d
districts, w
wash-
ing c
cars e
elsewhere m
may e
even b
be ffor-
bidden.
First soften the dirt with plenty of water
and rinse off as well as possible. Then
clean the car with a
a s
soft s
sponge, g
glove
or b
brush starting on the roof and going
from top to bottom using o
only s
slight
pressure e
especially w
when c
cleaning tthe
headlight a
area. Paint shampoo, prefer-
ably with a neutral pH, should only be
used for very persistent dirt. Rinse the
sponge or glove out thoroughly at short
intervals.
Wheels and sill panels should be cleaned
last, using a different sponge if possible.
After cleaning the vehicle, rinse thor-
oughly with water and leather it off.
Note
•
The vehicle should not be washed in
strong sunshine.
•
If the vehicle is rinsed with a hose, do
not direct the jet of water at the lock cylin-
ders and the door/boot lid/tailgate shut
lines – they can freeze up in the winter.
Washing vvehicle w
with h
high
pressure ccleaner
•
The operating instructions for the high
pressure cleaner must be followed closely
– particularly with regard to pressure and
working distance.
•
Do not use a concentrated jet.
•
The water temperature must not be
above 60°C.
Warning
Tyres m
must n
never b
be c
cleaned w
with
a c
concentrated jjet! E
Even a
at a
a rrela-
tively llarge w
working d
distance a
and a
a
very s
short s
spraying ttime, d
damage
can o
occur.
Conservation
Regular application of protection prod-
ucts protects the vehicle paintwork to a
large extent against the environmental
influences listed under “Washing” on the
previous page and even against light
mechanical damage.
At the latest when water on the clean
paint does not form small drops and roll
off, the vehicle should be protected by
applying a coat of good hard wax. Even
when a wax solution is used regularly in
the washing water it is advisable to pro-
tec t the paint with a c oat of hard wax at
least twice a year.
