Wax your vehicle once or twice a year, or when water does not bead up on the paint.Use a soft cloth to put a small amount of wax on the painted surfaces. After the wax has dried, polish with a dry soft cloth.Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight. You should wax when the painted surfaces are cool.

If painted surfaces have been severely dam- aged and lost their original luster and color tone, polish the surface lightly with a finepolishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damaged surface only; polish a somewhat wider area, moving the polishing
cloth in one direction. After polishing, flush the compound from the surface and apply a coat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.

NOTE
 When the door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or crack the rubber gasket installed around the door. Pour warm water to melt the ice. Be sure to thoroughly wipeoff the water after opening the door. To pre- vent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, hood, etc., treat
with silicone lubri-
cant.
Waxing
CAUTION Waxes containing high abrasive compounds should not be used. These waxes remove rust and stain effectively from the paintwork, but are harmful to the finish
on the paint and the
plate, because they also remove clearcoat.They are also harmful to other glossy sur- faces such as the grill
e, trim, moldings, etc.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, benzine or paint thinners to remove road tar or other dirt from the vehicle surface. Do not put wax on the areas having black matte coating because it can cause unevendiscoloration, patches, blurs, etc. If these get wax on them, wipe the wax off right away with a soft cloth and warm water. If your vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, be careful not to apply any wax on the weather-strip (black rubber) when waxing the area around the sunroof opening. If stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannotmaintain a weatherproof seal with the sun- roof.
Polishing
