Waxing and polishing vehicle paint

Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
Waxing
A good coat of wax helps to protect the vehicle paint. When water no longer forms small drops and
runs off
when the paint is
clean
, apply a new coat of good
hard wax
to protect the vehicle again.
Even if a
wax solution
is used regularly at the car wash, Volkswagen recommends applying a coat of
hard wax at least twice a year to protect the paint.
Polishing
Polish your vehicle if the paint has lost its shine and the gloss cannot be brought back with wax.
The vehicle must be waxed after polishing if the polish used does not contain wax compounds to seal
the paint.
NOTICE
x
To help prevent damage, do not use hard wax or polish on matte-finished parts, plastic
parts, headlights or rear lights.

Do not wax or polish your vehicle if it is dirty, or in a sandy or dusty place.
