wiper blades and malfunctions of the rain sen‐
sor.
Vehicle care
Car care products

cantly to vehicle value retention.

air pollution or natural contaminants, such as
tree resin or pollen, can have an impact on the
vehicle paint. Therefore, it is important to tailor
the frequency and extent of your car care to
these influences.
Immediately remove especially aggressive sub‐
stances, such as spilled fuel, oil, grease, or bird
droppings, to prevent damage to the paint‐
work.Seite 255CareMOBILITY255
