Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to
environmental influences. Wash and wax
your vehicle regularly. When using
automatic car washes, select a programme
that 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.
When using a car wash, follow the car-
wash manufacturer’s instructions. Switch
off the windscreen wipers 3. Unscrew the
antenna 3 and remove the roof rack 3.
If you wash your vehicle by hand, make
sure that the insides of the wings are also
thoroughly rinsed out.
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.
Do not use hard objects to remove spots of
tar. Use tar removal spray on painted
surfaces.
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the latest
when water no longer beads). Otherwise,
the paintwork will dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the paint has
become dull or if solid deposits have
become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a
protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts should not be treated
with wax and polish. Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
Clean wheels with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Wheels are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body.
Paintwork damage
Rectify minor paintwork damage with a
touch-up pen before rust forms. Have more
extensive damage or rust areas repaired
by a workshop.
