fect the vehicle's paintwork. Tailor the frej
quency and extent of your vehicle care to
these influences.
Aggressive substances such as spilled fuel, oil, grease or bird droppings, must be removed imjmediately to prevent the finish from being alj
tered or discolored.
Matte

Remove dust from the leather regularly, using
a cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime
