14.9 Appearance Care and Protection
14.9.1 Washing the Exterior
•
Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water and a
neutral pH soap
•
Never use strong household detergents or soap, such as dish
washing or laundry liquid. These products can discolor and spot
painted surfaces
•
Never wash a vehicle that is ‘hot to the touch’ or during
exposure to strong, direct sunlight
•
Always use a clean sponge or car wash mitt with plenty of water
for best results
•
Dry the vehicle with a chamois or soft terry cloth towel in order
to eliminate water spotting
•
It is especially important to wash the vehicle regularly during the
winter months, as dirt and road salt are difficult to remove and
cause damage to the vehicle
•
Immediately remove items such as petrol, diesel fuel, bird
droppings and insect deposits; they can cause damage to the
vehicle's paint work and trim over time
14.9.2 Engine Compartment
Do not wash the engine or engine compartment with
pressurized water.
14.9.3 Exterior Chrome
•
Wash the vehicle first, using cool or lukewarm water and a
neutral pH shampoo
•
Use the custom bright metal cleaners, available at your
Authorized Mahindra Dealer. Apply the product as you would wax
to clean chrome parts; allow the cleaner to dry for a few
minutes, and then wipe off the haze with a clean, dry rag
