CleaningCleaning
7.12MODEL S OWNERS MANUAL
CleaningCleaning the Exterior
To prevent damage to the paint, immediately
remove corrosive substances (bird droppings,
tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt,
industrial fallout, etc). Do not wait until Model S
is due for a complete wash. If necessary, use
denatured alcohol to remove tar spots and
stubborn grease stains, then immediately wash
the area with water and a mild, non-detergent
soap to remove the alcohol.
Follow these steps when washing the exterior
of Model S:
1.Rinse Thoroughly
Before washing, flush grime and grit from
the bodywork using a hose. Flush away
accumulations of mud in areas where debris
easily collects (such as wheel arches and
panel seams). If salt has been used on the
highways (such as during winter months),
thoroughly rinse all traces of road salt from
the underside of the vehicle.
2.Hand Wash
Hand wash Model S using a soft cloth and
cold or lukewarm water containing a mild,
good quality car shampoo.
3.Rinse with Clean Water
After washing, rinse with clean water to
prevent soap from drying on the surfaces.
4.Dry Thoroughly and Clean Exterior Glass
After washing and rinsing, dry thoroughly
with a chamois.
Clean windows and mirrors using an
automotive glass cleaner. Do not scrape, or
use any abrasive cleaning fluid on glass or
mirrored surfaces.
Cautions for Exterior Cleaning
CAUTION: Do not use hot water and
detergents.
CAUTION: In hot weather, do not wash in
direct sunlight.
CAUTION: If using a pressure washer,
maintain a distance of at least 30 cm
between the nozzle and the surface of
Model S. Keep the nozzle moving and do
not concentrate the water jet on any one
area.
CAUTION: Do not aim water hoses
d i r e c t l y a t w i n d o w, d o o r o r h o o d s e a l s , o r
through wheel apertures onto brake
components.
CAUTION: Avoid using tight-napped or
rough cloths, such as washing mitts.
CAUTION: If washing in an automatic car
wash, use Touchless car washes only.
These car washes have no parts (brushes,
etc.) that touch the surfaces of Model S.
Using any other type of car wash could
cause damage that is not covered by the
warranty.
CAUTION: Do not used chemical based
wheel cleaners. These can damage the
finish on the wheels.
CAUTION: Avoid using a high pressure
power washer on the rear view camera or
parking sensors (if equipped) and do not
clean a sensor or camera lens with a
sharp or abrasive object that can scratch
or damage its surface.
Some cleaning products contain
chemicals that are hazardous to the
environment. Always take precautions to
prevent spilling. It is illegal to pollute
drains, rivers and waterways. Used toxic
chemicals must be disposed of at
authorized waste disposal sites only.
