car care
Hand washing is gentler on the paint than an
automatic car wash.
since the paint on a new
vehicle may take several months to harden completely, we recommend washing the vehicle by hand during this period. Use clean water, a suitable car washing detergent and
a sponge. keep in mind that dirt or grit on the
sponge can scratch the paint.
