Bodywork
Normal paint maintenance consists in
washing, the frequency of which
depends on the conditions of use and
of the environment. For example, in
areas where there is high atmospheric
pollution or the roads are spread with
anti-freeze salt, it is advisable to wash
the car more frequently.
WARNING: Detergents pollute water.
Therefore the car should be washed in
areas equipped for the collection and
purification of the fluids used for
washing.
For correct washing:
– Wet the bodywork with a low-
pressure water jet.
– Run a sponge soaked in a neutral
detergent solution over the
bodywork, remembering to rinse the
sponge frequently.
– Thoroughly rinse with water and dry
with a jet of air or chamois.
When drying, take particular care with
the parts that are less visible, such as
the door bays, hood, headlight edges,
in which water can be trapped more
easily.
You are recommended not to take the
car immediately into an enclosed
environment, but leave it in the open
air so as to allow the water to
evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
left in the sun or when the hood is hot:
the paint gloss could be affected.
External plastic parts must be cleaned
with the same procedure followed for
the normal washing of the car.
Avoid, as far as possible, parking the
car under trees; the resinous
substances that very often drop from
the trees give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the
possibility of originating corrosive
processes.
WARNING: Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and
thoroughly, since their acidity is
particularly corrosive.
WARNING: To provide better
protection for the paint, polish the car
at intervals with a suitable product
leaving a protective film on the paint.
Windows
To clean the windows use special
detergents.
Only use clean cloths so as not to
scratch the windows or render them
less transparent.
WARNING: To avoid damaging the
electrical resistors on the internal
surface of the rear window, wipe it
gently following the direction of the
resistors.
