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
may not be as thorough as when you go over the
with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody
clean is most important, especially in the winter.
Some automatic washers do not have the facilities
for washing the underbody.
Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure
that the side-view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc.,
are secure, otherwise there is risk of the machine
dislodging them. You should also lower the
antenna.
We recommend that you do not wash your car in
an automatic wash during the first six months
(because the paint will not have hardened
sufficiently).
Polishing and waxing
Normally, polishing is not required during the
first year after delivery, however, waxing may be
beneficial.
Before applying polish or wax the car must be
washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with
kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may
require a fine rubbing compound.
After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
Several commercially-available products contain
both polish and wax. Waxing alone does not
substitute for polishing of a dull surface.
Awide range of polymer-based car waxes can be
purchased today. The waxes are easy to use and
produce a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that
protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt
and fading.
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 preparation.
Stains on chrome trim can be removed with
commercially-available chrome cleaner. Do not
use abrasive compounds or steel wool.
