Using a warm water washer
 Keep a good distance of 12 in (30 cm)
or more between the washer nozzle and
the vehicle.
 Do not wash the same area continu-
ously.
 If a stain will not come out easily, wash
by hand. Some warm water washers are
of the high temperature, high pressure
type, and they can damage or deform the
resin parts such as mouldings, or cause
water to leak in to the vehicle.

Waxing and Polishing
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing and polishing.
Use a good quality polish and wax and
apply them according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions. Wax or polish when
the painted surface is cool. Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim,
as well as the painted surfaces. Loss of
wax on a painted surface leads to loss of
the original luster and also quickens the
deterioration of the surface. It is recom-
mended that a coat of wax be applied at
least once a month, or whenever the
surface no longer repels water.
If the appearance of the paint has dimin-
ished to the point where the luster or tone
cannot be restored, lightly polish the
surface with a fine-grained compound.
Never polish just the affected area, but
include the surrounding area as well.
Always polish in only one direction. A No.
2000 grain compound is recommended.
Never use a coarse-grained compound.
Coarser grained compounds have a
smaller grain-size number and could
damage the paint. After polishing with a
compound, coat with wax to restore the
original luster. Frequent polishing with a
compound or an incorrect polishing tech-
nique will result in removing the paint layer
and exposing the undercoat. When in
doubt, it is always best to contact your
SUBARU dealer or an auto paint
specialist.
NOTEBe careful not to block the windshield
washer nozzles with wax when waxing
the vehicle.■
Cleaning Alloy Wheels
 Promptly wipe the alloy wheels clean of
any kind of grime or agent. If dirt is left on
too long, it may be difficult to clean off.
 Do not use soap containing grit to clean
the wheels. Be sure to use a neutral
cleaning agent, and later rinse thoroughly
with water. Do not clean the wheels with a
stiff brush or expose them to a high-speed
washing device.
 Clean the vehicle (including the alloy
wheels) with water as soon as possible
when it has been splashed with sea water,
exposed to sea breezes, or driven on
roads treated with salt or other agents.
CAUTION
 Be careful not to damage brake
hoses, sensor harnesses, and
other parts when washing
suspension components.Be careful not to flush the engine
bottom for a long time. It may
cause damage of some electrical
parts.
CAUTION
Do not use any agents with organic
solvents on the surface of the bulb
assembly cover. However, if a pol-
ish or wax with organic solvents is
applied to the cover surface, com-
pletely wipe off the polish or wax.
Otherwise, the cover surface may
be damaged.
