ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aestethic purpose,
but also protects the underlying sheet metal.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you are
advised to have the necessary touching up carried
out immediately to avoid the formation of rust. Use
only original paint products for touching up (see
“Bodywork paint identification plate” in section
“Technical specification”).
Normal paint maintenance consists in washing at
intervals depending on the conditions and
environment of use. For example, in highly polluted
areas, or if the roads are sprayed with salt, it is wise
to wash the car more frequently.
To correctly wash the car:
❒remove the aerial from the roof to prevent
damage to it if the car is washed in an automatic
system;
❒wash the body using a low pressure jet of water;
❒wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over
the bodywork, frequently rinsing with the
sponge;
❒rinse well with water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
When drying, take particular care with the less
visible parts like door surrounds, bonnet and
around the headlights where water may stagnate.
The car should not be taken to a closed area
immediately, but left in the open so that residual
water can evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun
or with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of
the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same
way as the rest of the vehicle.
Where possible, do not park under trees; the
resinous substance many species release give the
paint a dull appearance and increase the possibility
of triggering rust processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they
contain is particularly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution. Therefore the car should be washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used in the washing process.
