Care of exterior
Washing
Frequent washing protects the vehicle .
The best protection against environmental in
fluences is
frequent washing and waxing . How
often this is required depends on:
- How much the veh icle is used
- Where the veh icle is parked (garage, in the
open under trees, etc.)
- The seasona l and weather conditions
- Environmental infl uences
T he longer b ird droppings, insects, tree resin,
road and indus tria l gr ime, ta r, soot, road salt
and other materials remain on the vehicle paint, the more lasting their destructive ef
fects wi ll be .
High tempera tures, as from expos ure to in
tense sunlight, intensify the corrosive e ffect
particularly when humidity is high as well.
Under certa in ci rc u mstances,
we ekly washing
may be necessary. Unde r othe r cond it ions, a
monthly washing and waxing may be ade
quate.
After the winter, the unders ide of the vehicle
sho uld be thoro ughly washed p re ferab ly in a
pro fessional ca r wash.
