mend that you wash them regularly.
- b y h a n d : t h e r e a r e n o s p e c i i c precautions to take;
- using an automatic car wash: repeated use of poorly
maintained automatic car
washes can lead to the
appearance of microscopic
scratches which give the
paintwork a matt appearance
( e s p e c i a l l y v i s i b l e o n d a r k
colours);
- using a high pressure washer: always follow the
recommendations on the
e q u i p m e n t ( p r e s s u r e a n d

If there are damaged areas on t h e v e h i c l e ( p a i n t e d b u m p e r s
or headlamps), it is not
recommended to direct the high
pressure jet onto them. Wash
these areas by hand.
Also avoid the entry of water into the locks.

tenance of your vehicle, contact an
