Matt paint
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
lacquer using a soft cloth, then leave to dry.
From the range of cleaning and maintenance
products recommended and approved by
CITROËN, use only products for removing
insects and car shampoo.
Always have paint repairs done by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Recommendations on the care and maintenance your vehicle are given in the ser vicing booklet.
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
preser ving 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.
