Tar Stains
Quickly remove tar stains before they dry and become
more difficult to remove. A tar remover is
recommended.
Paintwork, Painted Body Components
Paint care should be applied when water drops on the
paint surface do not "bead up", normally every 3 to
5 months, depending on climate and washing
detergent used.
Paint cleaner should be applied if paint surface shows
signs of dirt embedding (i.e. loss of gloss).
Do not apply any of these products or wax if your
vehicle is parked in the sun or if the hood is still hot.
Use the appropriate paint stick for quick and
provisional repairs of minor paint damage (i.e., chips
from stones, vehicle doors etc.).
Engine Cleaning
Prior to cleaning the engine compartment, make sure
to protect electrical components and connectors from
the intrusion of water and cleaning agents.Corrosion protection, such as anticorrosion wax
should be applied to the engine compartment after
every engine cleaning. Before applying, all control
linkage bushings and joints should be lubricated. The
poly-V-belt and all pulleys should be protected from
any wax.
Vehicle Washing
Do not use hot water or wash your vehicle in direct
sunlight. Use only a mild car wash detergent.
Thoroughly spray the vehicle with a diffused jet of
water. Direct only a very weak spray towards the
ventilation intake. Use plenty of water and rinse the
sponge and chamois frequently.
Rinse with clear water and thoroughly wipe dry with a
chamois. Do not allow cleaning agents to dry on the
finish.
Due to the width of the vehicle, prior to running the
vehicle through an automatic car wash, fold back the
outside mirrors to prevent them from getting
damaged.
In the winter, thoroughly remove all traces of road salt
as soon as possible.
