cloth.
CAUTION: It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the \
winter time, to prevent
corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads. Also wash off the dirt \
on the underside (Wheel
housings and fenders etc.)
WARNING: When the car is driven immediately after being washed, carefull\
y apply the brakes
several times in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings.
pg. 87 Washing, Cleaning, Anti-rust treatment
Automatic washing - simple and quick

An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is\
worth remembering that it can
never be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge an\
d water. Keeping the
underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automa\
tic washers do not have
facilities for washing the underbody.
Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that side view mirrors,\
auxiliary lamps, etc., are
secure, otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them. You shou\
ld also lower the antenna.
We recommend that you do not wash your car in an automatic wash during t\
he first six months (because
the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).

Bird droppings /Tree sap

Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be p\
ermanently damaged.

Chromed parts

Chromium-plated and anodized parts should be washed with clean water as \
soon as they become dirty.
This is particularly important if you drive on gravel roads or on roads \
where salt is used during the
winter. After the car has been washed, apply wax or an anti-rust prepara\
tion.
Stains on chrome trim can be removed with commercially available chrome \
cleaner. Do not use abrasive
compounds or steel wool.
