Vehicle Care

Washing The Wheels
NOTE: Wash the wheels frequently.
Do not allow brake dust to become
ingrained in the wheel rim finish.
Wash the wheels using warm water, a good
quality car shampoo and a wheel brush or
wash mitt that is used only on the wheels.
Apply polish to non-satin finished wheels
to assist in keeping them clean.
NOTE: Never apply polish to satin
finish wheels. This will result in
localised glossy patches on the
surface of the wheel.
NOTE: Do not use acid-based wheel
cleaners as these can damage the
wheel rim finish leading to
corrosion.
NOTE: Ensure the brakes are fully
dried after the wheels have been
cleaned before the vehicle is stored.
Washing The Mirrors
Regularly clean the mirrors using a window
cleaning solution. Do not use abrasive
cleaning compounds as mirror glass is
particularly susceptible to damage.
Cleaning The Underbody
Salt used on roads to control snow and ice
during the winter can collect on the
vehicle’s underbody, if this is not removed
corrosion can occur. During the winter
months regularly hose the underbody with
water, paying particular attention to the
wheel arches and areas where dirt can
accumulate. Polishing
Occasionally polish the paint work using a
good quality polish, following up with a
protective wax.
NOTE: Do not use cutting compound,
colour restoration products or
polishes containing a harsh
abrasive. These can scratch the
surface and permanently damage
the paint work.
Paint Damage And Rectification
Regularly inspect the paintwork for
damage. Any stone chips or deep scratches
should be repaired as soon as possible.
