Protection of cavities
All the cavities of your vehicle which are at risk from corrosion are protected by
a layer of long-lasting protective wax applied in the factory.
If any small amount of wax flow out of the cavities at high temperatures, these
must be removed with a plastic scraper and the stains cleaned using a petrole-
um cleaner.
Underbody
The underside of your vehicle is already permanently protected by the factory
against chemical and mechanical influences.
We recommend having the protective coating checked — preferably before the
beginning of winter and at the end of winter.
Product life of the films
Environmental influences (e.g. sunlight, humidity, air pollution, rockfall) affect
the life of the films. Films will age and become brittle – this is entirely normal;
this is not a fault.
Sunlight may also affect the strength of the film colour.
When transporting a load on the roof rack (e.g. roof box or similar), there is an
increased risk of film damage (e.g. of chipping from the secured load).
CAUTION
â–  Vehicle paint
â–  Repair damaged areas as soon as possible.
â–  Matt-painted parts should not be treated with polishes or hard waxes.
â–  Do not polish in a dusty environment - risk of paint scratches.
â–  Do not apply any paint care products to door seals or window guides.â– 
Plastic parts

â–  Do not polish the films
â–  Do not use a high pressure cleaner on the films.
â– 
Rubber seals
â–  Do not treat the door seals and window guides deal with anything - the
protective varnish coating could be damaged.
â–  Windows and door mirrors
â–  Do not clean the insides of the windows/mirrors with sharp objects - risk of
damage to the filaments or the antenna. â–  Do not use a cloth which has been used to polish the body - this could dirty
the window and impair visibility.â– 
Head / taillights
â–  Do not wipe head/taillights dry, do not use any sharp objects - risk of dam-
age to the protective coating and cracks forming on the headlight glass cov-
ers.
â–

camera damage.
â–  Do not remove snow / ice with warm / hot water.
â–  To wash, never use a pressure washer or steam jet.

â– 
Door lock cylinders
â–  Make sure that as little water as possible gets into the locking cylinder
when washing the vehicle - there is a risk of freezing the lock cylinder!
â– 
Wheels
â–  Heavy soiling of the wheels can affect the balance of the wheels - the re-
sult can be a vibration, which can cause premature wear of the steering.
