fect the vehicle's paintwork. Tailor the fre‐
quency and extent of your car care to these
influences.
Aggressive substances, such as spilled fuel,
oil, grease or bird droppings, must be removed
immediately to prevent the finish from being
altered or discolored.

cloth or vacuum cleaner.

chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased
wear and premature degradation of the leather
surface.Seite 206MobilityCare206
