jet wash, or at least a water hose with a high
output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using
de-ionised water.
Use only a microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle.
It must be clean and used without heavy
pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the
lacquer using a soft cloth, then leave to dry.
From the range of cleaning and maintenance
products recommended and approved by
