Hand washing is gentler on the paint than an
automatic car wash. since the paint on a new
vehicle may take several months to harden completely, we recommend washing the vehi-cle by hand during this period. Use clean water, a suitable car washing detergent and a sponge. keep in mind that dirt or grit on the sponge can
scratch the paint.
