2013 Alfa Romeo MiTo headlights

Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door frames, bonnet, headlight frames
etc.) with special care, as water may stagnate more easily in these
areas. Do not wash the car after it has been left in the sun or with the
bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in the same way as the rest of
the car.
Detergents pollute the environment. Only wash your car in
areas equipped to collect and treat wastewater from this
type of activity.In order to preserve the aesthetic properties of the
paintwork, abrasive products and/or polishes should not
be used to clean the car.
IMPORTANT
Avoid parking under trees; the resin dropped by trees makes the
paintwork go opaque and increases the possibility of corrosion.
Bird droppings must be washed off immediately and thoroughly as the
acid they contain is particularly aggressive.
Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths to prevent scratching or
altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the inside surface of the rear window gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heating
device.Front headlights
Use a soft, damp cloth soaked in water and detergent for washing
cars.
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol) or ketenes
(e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the front headlights.
Engine compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the engine compartment thoroughly,
taking care not to aim the jet of water directly at the electronic control
units or at the windscreen wiper motors. Have this operation
performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the engine cold and
the ignition key in the STOP position. After washing, make sure that the
various protective devices (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not
been removed or damaged.
