18.2 Cleaning and care of the vehicle exterior
CAUTION!
Damage to the window panes
If an agent containing alcohol is used for cleaning or, in winter, for de-icing, the vehicle's acrylic glass
window panes (PMMA) will get damaged!
)
Do not use cleaning agents or de-icing agents containing alcohol for the acrylic glass (PMMA) window
panes!
To maintain the high quality of the finish, observe the following information on care:
)
Salt (at the seaside), soot, bird droppings and other aggressive substances should always be removed from the
paintwork of the vehicle immediately before they have time to leave a mark.
)
Wash your vehicle with water regularly if you are near the sea.
)
You should clean your vehicle as you would a car.
)
Wash your vehicle with a pH-neutral product (pH value: 6-8). Do not forget to wash the vehicle roof!
)
Always thoroughly rinse off the vehicle with water and dry it.
)
Use only sponges, soft cloths or soft brushes. Hard tools can damage the paintwork.
)
The vehicle should be waxed from time to time to protect and enhance its sheen. Apply the coat of wax as directed
by the manufacturer of the product.
)
GRP parts can acquire a yellowish hue over time. This is not however a quality defect. There are special cleaning and
polishing products to improve the look of these parts. These products can be obtained through authorised dealers.
)
To freshen up old paintwork, the vehicle can be treated with a suitable polish. Here again, you should follow the
manufacturer’s directions. Polishing can damage the paintwork of your vehicle (abrasion). So do not apply polish
unless absolutely necessary.
)
Plastic parts must not be treated with aggressive cleaning agents such as benzene, methylated spirits, thinners, etc.
(see 18.2.1).
)
Tar stains or other organic marks on the painted surface are best removed with benzene. We strongly advise against
the use of other solvents!
)
Insects should be softened with water and then removed with a sponge wrapped in a nylon stocking.
)
Damage to the surface of your vehicle should be repaired immediately with refinish paint to prevent corrosion.
)
Check the condition of the underseal once a year. Please contact your
VANTourer
dealer if the underbody protection
is damaged.
)
After driving on roads that have been sprayed with salt, wash the underbody of the base vehicle with water.
