To correctly wash the car:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to
prevent damage to it if the car is
washed in an automatic system;
❒wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly
soapy solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with
a jet of air or a chamois leather.
Dry the less visible parts particularly
carefully, such as the door frames,
bonnet and the headlight frames,
where water may stagnate more eas-
ily. It is a good idea to leave the car in
the open for a while after washing it
to give time for the water to evapo-
rate.
Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun or when the engine
is bonnet is hot: this can alter the
gloss of the paint.Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned
in the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under
trees; the resinous substance many
species release give the paint a dull
appearance and increase the possibil-
ity of triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thor-
oughly as the acid they contain is par-
ticularly aggressive.Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratch-
ing the glass or damaging the trans-
parency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the rear
window should be wiped gently with
a cloth in the direction of the fila-
ments to avoid damaging the heating
device.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketenes
(e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front
headlight plastic lens.Detergents cause water pol-
lution. The car should be
washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the
liquid used in the washing process.
