body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.

washing from the front of the vehicle. Make sure to re-install the antenna
and extend the mirrors before driving.

●Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent. Do not use hard
brushes or abrasive cleaners. Do not use strong or harsh chemical clean-

Use the same mild detergent and wax as used on the paint.
● Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, for example after
driving for long distance in the hot weather.
