• Before going through the car wash, apart from the usual precautions
(closing windows and sliding roof).
You do not need to remove the Original roof aerial.
• If there are special fittings on the vehicle – e.g. spoilers, roof rack, two-
way radio aerial – it is best to speak to the car wash operator.

In the interests of environmental protection the vehicle should only be
washed in specially provided wash bays. In some districts, washing cars
elsewhere may even be forbidden.
First soften the dirt with plenty of water and rinse off as well as
possible. Then clean the car w wi

Paint
shampoo, preferably with a neutral pH, should only be used for
very persistent dirt. Rinse the sponge or glove out thoroughly at
short intervals.
Wheels and sill panels should be cleaned last, using a different
sponge if possible.
After cleaning the vehicle, rinse thoroughly with water and leather
it off.N No

te
e
•The vehicle should not be washed in strong sunshine.
•If the vehicle is rinsed with a hose, do not direct the jet of water
at the lock cylinders and the door/boot lid/tailgate shut lines –
they can freeze up in the winter.
K
Washing vehicle with high pressure cleaner
• The operating instructions for the high pressure cleaner must be
followed closely – particularly with regard to pressure and working
distance.
• Do not use a concentrated jet.
• The water temperature must not be above 60°C.
Conservation
Regular application of protection products protects the vehicle
paintwork to a large extent against the environmental influences
listed under “Washing” on the previous page and even against
light mechanical damage.
At the latest when water on the clean paint does not form small
drops and roll off, the vehicle should be protected by applying a
coat of good hard wax. Even when a wax solution is used regularly

conditioning, sliding/tilting roof, tow bar and other added features, the free
