Vehicle Cleaning
You can only clean the vehicle with the
ignition switch off, or there might be the risk
of accident.
For vehicle cleaning in winter, moisture or
icing in the braking system will reduce the
braking effect, which may have the risk of
accident.
DO NOT use a high pressure hose to clean
the engine compartment – damage to the
car’s electronic systems may occur.
Frequent cleaning and waxing can effectively protect the
vehicle against harmful environmental impacts, for some
covered areas, for example, doorsill footstep, sealed parts,
cover plate, etc. should be cleaned periodically. These
parts may quickly develop paint scratches due to long-time
attachment with abrasive compositions. The time interval
of vehicle cleaning depends on many factors.
For example:
• Use frequency;
• Places for vehicle parking and storage, such as garage, a
place under the tree, etc.;
• Seasons;
• Climatic conditions;
• Environmental impacts.
The longer adhesion of insect infectants, bird droppings,
resin, road dust and industrial dust, asphalt, soot particles,
snow melting salt and other erosive sediments to the
automotive paint, the greater their adverse effects are.
Too high temperature, such as intensive solar radiation,
will also intensify the erosion.
So you may need to clean the vehicle once a week, but in
some cases once a month, along with appropriate waxing,
and that is enough.
