Note:
Do not spray cleaning products on
the brake discs. Any resulting damage is not
covered by your vehicle warranty.
Note: Always follow the instructions
included in this manual when cleaning your
vehicle and do not use abrasive cleaning
products.
Standard Paint Finish
If your vehicle has a matte paint finish, see
Matte Paint Finish in this chapter.
Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or
lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo, we recommend Motorcraft®™
Detail Wash.
• Never use strong household detergents
or soap, for example dish washing or
laundry liquid. These products can
discolor and spot painted surfaces.
• Never wash your vehicle when it is hot
to the touch, or during strong or direct
sunlight.
• Dry your vehicle with a chamois or soft
terry cloth towel to eliminate water
spotting.
• Immediately remove fuel spillages, bird
droppings, insect deposits and road tar.
These may cause damage to your
vehicle ’s paintwork or trim over time.
We recommend Motorcraft® Bug and
Tar Remover.
Matte Paint Finish
(If Equipped)
Prepare the following before washing your
vehicle:
• Use a no shine, matte car wash soap
that does not contain fillers or silicone.
• Use high quality, soft lamb's wool mitts
and wash each mitt thoroughly after
each car wash. •
Wash your vehicle's painted surfaces
in the shade with two buckets of water,
one for soap and the other for clean
water.
• Add a plastic grit guard to the bottom
of the soap bucket so that dirt settles
at the bottom of the bucket and does
not contaminate the wash mitt.
To wash your vehicle:
1. Rinse your vehicle to remove as much dirt and debris as possible.
2. Wet the wash mitt in the soap bucket and apply the soapy water to your
vehicle in a gentle back-and-forth
motion.
Note: Do not rub the wash mitt in circles or
rub the paint surface aggressively. Rubbing
too hard in circles leaves permanent swirl
marks in the paint finish.
3. Rinse the wash mitt in clean water before inserting the mitt back into the
soap bucket to prevent dirt from
contaminating the soapy water.
4. Rinse the vehicle with clean water and
dry it with a clean, damp cloth.
Note: Do not use automotive waxes, detail
sprays or abrasive polishes or glazes on your
vehicle. Improper use of cleaning products
can cause damage to your vehicle not
covered by your vehicle warranty.
Immediately remove fuel spillages, bird
droppings, insect deposits and road tar.
Use a wet microfiber towel and an
alcohol-based window cleaner, a matte
paint finish cleaner or a 50/50 mix of
alcohol and deionized water.
Note: Always soak a microfiber towel or
wash mitt with water before cleaning. Using
a dry towel or mitt on a matte paint finish
creates a permanent glossy spot in the paint
finish.

CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Dirty windshield and wipers will result in
poor windshield wiper operation. Keep the
windshield and wiper blades clean to
maintain windshield wiper performance.
To clean exterior glass surfaces and wiper
blades:
•
Clean the exterior surface of the
windshield with a non-abrasive glass
cleaner.
• For windshields contaminated with

cleaners, aerosol sprays or abrasive
compounds to clean the interior glass
surfaces of your vehicle. Using improper
cleaning products can cause damage to
your vehicle. CLEANING THE INTERIOR WARNING: Do not use cleaning
solvents, bleach or dye on the vehicle's
seatbelts, as these actions may weaken
the belt webbing.
Clean safety belts with water applied with
a soft sponge. Let them dry naturally, away
