interfere with machine operation. This may prevent the vehicle from
being cleaned properly or result in damage to the roof antenna.
■ High pressure car washes

of
the windows. Before entering an automatic car wash, check that the fuel filler
door on your vehicle is closed properly.
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime
condition.
● Working from top to bottom, liber ally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any

oughly with water.

●Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use
hard brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical
cleaners. Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.

driving for long distance in the hot weather.
● Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.
■ Bumpers and side moldings
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.

Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipe until it has cooled
sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.

nents (aluminum or chrome cladded wheels etc.)

• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If you see coal tar or tree sap on the paint surface
