Windows
Use specific window cleaners to
clean the windows. Use very clean
cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
damaging its transparency.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Have this done at a garage.Detergents pollute wa-
ter. The car must there-
fore be washed in an area
equipped for the collection and
purification of the liquids used
while washing.
IMPORTANTThe car should be
washed while the engine is cold and
with the ignition key at STOP. After
washing the car, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber boots
and various guards) have not been re-
moved or damaged. Outside plastic parts must be cleaned
following the usual car washing pro-
cedure.
Avoid parking your car under trees;
the resinous substances that often
drop will dull the paintwork and in-
crease the possibility of corrosion.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must
be washed off immediately and with
great care as their acid is particularly
aggressive.
