To wash the vehicle properly, proceed as follows:
❒wash the body using a low-pressure jet of water;
❒use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse with plenty of water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Observe the following recommendations for washing the
vehicle in an automatic carwash:
– remove the aerial from the roof so it does not get dam-
aged;
– the car wash should use water added to a soapy solu-
tion;
– rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks staying on the
bodywork or less visible parts.
Some car washes with old-style blades
and/or in a poor state of repair can dam-
age the paintwork, facilitating the forma-
tion of lines that give the paint a dull/misty ap-
pearance, especially on dark colours. If this hap-
pens, lightly polish the paintwork with appropriate
products.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as the
door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where wa-
ter may stagnate more easily. It is a good idea to leave
the vehicle outdoors for a while after washing it to give
water time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has been left in the sun or
with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paint-
work.
Exterior plastic parts should be cleaned in the same way
as the rest of the vehicle. Where possible, do not park the
vehicle under trees; the resinous substances released by
many species give the paint a dull appearance and increase
the possibility of rust.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be washed off im-
mediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is par-
ticularly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution. The ve-
hicle should be washed in areas equipped
for collecting and purifying the liquid used
in the washing process.
