Finishing Touches
After washing your vehicle, consider using a
commercially-available spray cleaner/polish
or quality liquid or paste wax to finish the job.
Use only a non abrasive polish or wax made
specifically for vehicles or automobiles.
Apply the polish or wax according to the
instructions on the container.
If a surface on your vehicle is chipped or
scratched, your Honda dealer has touch up
paint to match your vehicle’s color. Be sure
to use your vehicle’s color code (page 43)
when you buy touch-up paint.
