Wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water if possible.
Wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge.
Rinse well with water and dry with a
leather chamois.
Dry the less visible parts (e.g. door
frames, hood, headlight frames, etc.) with
special care, as water may stagnate more
easily in these areas. Do not wash the car
after it has been left in the sun or with the
hood hot: this may alter the shine of the
paintwork.
Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the vehicle.
If washing the car in a service that moves
the car, for cars with automatic
transmissions, PARK (P) must be cut out.
You have to shut off the engine in the
following conditions: car stopped,
transmission in NEUTRAL (N), push the
starter button for at least three seconds.
Note: Avoid parking under trees; the
resin dropped by trees makes the
paintwork go opaque and increases the
possibility of corrosion. Windows
Use specific detergents and clean cloths
to prevent scratching or altering the
transparency.Caution!
Wipe the rear window inside gently with a
cloth following the direction of the filaments
to avoid damaging the heating device.
Front Headlights
Use a soft cloth soaked in water and
detergent for washing cars.
Note:
Never use aromatic substances (e.g.
gasoline) or ketones (e.g. acetone) for
cleaning the plastic lenses of the
headlights.
When cleaning with a pressure
washer, keep the pressure washer at
least eight inches (20 cm) away from the
headlights. Engine Compartment
At the end of every winter, wash the
engine compartment thoroughly, taking
care not to aim the jet of water directly at
the electronic control units or at the
windshield wiper motors. Have this
operation performed at a specialized
workshop.
Note:
The washing should take place
with the engine cold and the ignition
device in the STOP position. After the
washing operation, make sure that the
various protections (e.g. rubber caps and
guards) have not been removed or
damaged.
