Car Care
Your vehicle is subjected to many exter-
nal influences such as climate, road con-
ditions, industrial pollution and proximity
to the sea. These conditions demand
regular care of the vehicle body. Dirt, in-
sects, bird droppings, oil, grease, fuel
and stone chippings should be removed
as soon as possible.
Washing
Following these tips while washing your
vehicle.
1.
Always wash your vehicle in shade
and the surface is at room tempera-
ture.
2.
Wash with mild vehicle wash soap
like ‘Car Shampoo’ and use a soft
bristle brush, sponge or soft cloth
and rinse it frequently while washing
to avoid scratches.
3.
To avoid scratches, please wear soft
gloves. Remove finger rings, nails,
wrist watch while washing.
4.
To remove stubborn stains and con-
taminants like tar, use turpentine or
cleaners like ‘Stain remover’ which
are safe for paint surfaces.
5.
Avoid substances like petrol, diesel,
kerosene, benzene, thinner, acids or
other solvents that cause damage to
paint.
6.
Dry your vehicle thoroughly to pre-
vent any damp spots.
7.
Rinse all surfaces thoroughly to pre-
vent any traces of soap and other
cleaners as this may lead to the for-
mation of stains on the painted sur-
face later.
NOTE
Avoid parking the car under trees
without proper cover, it will reduce
the amount of bird droppings, tree
sap and pollen contact on paint
surface. Regularly remove the
twigs, leaves and vegetation near
the windshield areas, to avoid wa-
ter stagnation.
WARNING
Do not direct high pressure washer
fluid/ water jets (Pressure above
0
.
5
Bar) at electrical devices and
connecter during washing. This is
to prevent malfunction / failure of
electrical system due to water in-
gress.
After drying the vehicle, inspect it for
chips and scratches that could allow cor-
rosion to start. Apply touch up paint
where necessary.
Cleaning of Carpets
Vacuum clean the carpet regularly to re-
move dirt. Dirt will make the carpet wear
out faster. Periodically shampoo the car-
pet to keep it looking new.
Use carpet cleaners (preferably foam
type). Follow the instructions that come
with the cleaner. Apply it with a sponge
or soft brush. Keep the carpeting as dry
as possible by not adding water to the
foam.
