z Interior/Upholstery Cleaner Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to
environmental influences, e.g. continuous
changes in weather conditions, industrial
waste gases and dust or thawing salts, so
wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When
using automatic car washes, select a
program which includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen
and the like should be cleaned off
immediately, as they contain aggressive
constituents which can cause paint
damage.
If using a car wash, comply with the
pertinent instructions of the car wash
manufacturer. The windscreen wipers and
tailgate wipers must be switched off –
see pages 92, 93. Remove detachable rod
antenna by unscrewing it.
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
If you wash your vehicle by hand, make
sure that the insides of the wings are also
thoroughly rinsed out. Do not use
household dishwashing liquid, to avoid
removing wax from the paintwork.
Clean edges and folds on opened doors
and flaps as well as the areas they cover.
Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for paint and window
surfaces; remnants of wax on the windows
will impair vision.
Also wash aluminium trim parts, avoiding
the use of abrasive materials such as
automotive or chrome polish, steam or
caustic soap. Washing with water is
normally sufficient.
Observe national regulations.
