BODY 

 

Care of Body 

To preserve the attractive appearance of the car give constant attention to the car body 

surfaces. To prevent scratches on the body do not remove dirt and dust from the car with dry 
rags. Wash the car when mud is still wet, using a weak water spray end a soft sponge. In hot 
weather wash the car outdoors in the shade. If this is impossible, immediately wipe the 
washed surfaces dry, since drops of water that dry under the sun rays leave stains on the body 
painted surface. At sub- zero ambient temperatures, having washed the car in a warm room, 
wipe the body dry before a trip because frozen drops of water may cause cracks on the body 
paint coating. It is not recommended to use soda and alkaline solutions, as they may tarnish 
the paint coating. 

When using a hose for washing, see that water does not get on the electric units in the engine 

compartment. 

Minor chipping of paint on the car body should be timely sanded and coated with the paint 

contained in the tin furnished with the car. 

In case corrosion of the car body parts is detected (corrosion traces, local paint blisters, etc.), 

take necessary measures to eliminate corrosion and prevent its further spreading.
