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.
Hand wash:
1
. Always wash your vehicle in shade and
the surface is at room temperature.
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 or other sol-
vents that cause damage to paint.
6
. Dry your vehicle thoroughly to prevent
any damp spots.
7
. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly to pre-
vent any traces of soap and other clean-
ers as this may lead to the formation of
stains on the painted surface later.
WARNING
Do not direct high pressure washer
fluid/ water jets (Pressure above 0.5
Bar) at electrical devices and con-
necter during washing. This is to pre-
vent malfunction / failure of electri-
cal system due to water ingress.
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.
NOTE
Avoid wiping of painted surface in
dry condition as it may leave
scratches on the painted surface.
