Matt paint
If you vehicle is finished with a clear matt
lacquer, please observe the following
recommendations to avoid damaging the
paintwork by the use of an inappropriate
cleaning procedures.
These recommendations are also valid for alloy
road wheels finished with clear matt lacquer.From the range of cleaning and maintenance products in the "TECHNATURE" range recommended
and approved by CITROËN, use only the insect remover and car shampoo, which are the only
products to be used on the bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to remove minor marks (for example: finger marks...).
Always have paint repairs done by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.Never clean the vehicle without water.
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will make the paintwork
shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or preserving products (such
as wax, for example) on the paintwork. These products are only suitable for bright finishes.
Application of these products on vehicles with a matt finish will seriously damage the paint
sur face of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible shiny or stained areas.
Never use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fitted with a brush, this may scratch the
paintwork.
Never select a wash programme that finishes with a hot wax cycle.
We recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a water hose with a high
output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.
Use only a microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and used without heavy
pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the bodywork using a soft cloth, then leave to dry.
Advice on care and maintenance
Recommendations on the care and maintenance your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
