WAXING
Regular waxing protects the paint surface and helps
maintain a new vehicle appearance.
After waxing, polishing is recommended to remove
built-up residue and to avoid a weathered appear-
ance.
An approved dealer can assist you in choosing the
appropriate waxing products.
CAUTION
•
Wash your vehicle thoroughly and completely
before applying wax to the paint surface.
•
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions
supplied with the wax.
•
Do not use a wax containing any abrasives,
cutting compounds or cleaners that may
damage the vehicle finish.
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a
base coat/clear coat paint finish may dull the finish
or leave swirl marks.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film
from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to be-
come coated with a film after the vehicle is parked
in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will
easily remove this film.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in the winter, it is
necessary to clean the vehicle’s underbody regu-
larly in order to prevent dirt and salt from building
up and causing the acceleration of corrosion on the
underbody and suspension.
Before the winter and again in the spring, the under-
seal must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
WHEELS
•
Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to
maintain their appearance.
•
Clean the inner side of the wheels when the
wheel is changed or the underside of the vehicle
is washed.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the
wheels.
•
Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or corro-
sion. This may cause loss of pressure or damage
the tyre bead.
•
RENAULT recommends that the road wheels be
waxed to protect against road salt in areas
where it is used during winter.
ALUMINIUM ALLOY WHEELS
Wash the wheels regularly with a sponge dampened
in a mild soap solution, especially during winter in
areas where road salt is used. The salt residue from
road salt could discolour the wheels if it is not
washed off regularly.
CAUTION
Follow the directions below to avoid staining or
discolouring the wheels:
•
Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or
alkali contents to clean the wheels.
•
Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels
when they are hot. The wheel temperature
should be the same as ambient temperature.
•
Rinse the wheel to completely remove the
cleaner within 15 minutes after the cleaner is
applied.
SIDE STEP BOARDS
CAUTION
When cleaning the side step boards, follow the
instruction below:
•
Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or
alkali contents to clean the side step boards.
Using strong acid or alkali contents may dam-
age the side step board surface.
•
Rinse the side step boards to completely re-
move the cleaner within 15 minutes after the
cleaner is applied.
CHROME PARTS
Clean all chrome parts regularly with a non abrasive
chrome polish to maintain the finish.
