Suitable detergents: Special car washing detergents should be used. Mix according to manufac\
turer's
instructions.
Bumpers: The bumpers are painted. Wash the bumpers with the same cleaning agent u\
sed on the rest of
the car. Never clean the bumpers with gasoline or paint thinner. Difficu\
lt spots can be removed with
denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper\
. WARNING!
l When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes \
several times in order to
remove any moisture from the brake linings.
l Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This \
constitutes a fire risk.


pg. 128 Washing the car, Cleaning the upholstery
Automatic washing - simple and quick
l We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the fir\
st six months
(because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).
l 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 yourself go over the car with sponge \
and water. Keeping the
underbody clean is most important, especially in the winter. Some automa\
tic washers do not have
facilities for washing the underbody.
l 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.
Polishing and waxing
l Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery\
. However, waxing may be
beneficial.
l Before applying polish or wax the car must be washed and dried. Tar spot\
s can be removed with
kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing comp\
ound.
l After polishing, use liquid or paste wax.
l Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax.
l Waxing alone does not substitute for polishing of a dull surface.
l A wide range of polymer-based car waxes can be purchased today. These wa\
xes are easy to use and
produce a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodywork aga\
inst oxidation, road dirt and
fading.
