Polishing and waxing
Polish and wax the vehicle when the paint is matte or to provide extra protection. Thevehicle does not need to be polished until it isat least a year old. However, it can be waxedduring the first year. Do not polish or wax thevehicle in direct sunlight. The surface of thevehicle should not be warmer than 45 °C(113 °F).
Wash and dry the vehicle very carefully before polishing or waxing. Removeasphalt and tar stains with asphaltremover or paint thinner. More stubbornstains can be removed with a grindingpaste designed for vehicle paint.
Use polish first and then liquid or pastewax. Follow the instructions on the pack-age carefully. Many products contain bothpolish and wax.
A wide range of polymer-based waxes canbe purchased today. These waxes are easyto use and produce a long-lasting, high-gloss finish that protects the bodyworkagainst oxidation, road dirt and fading.

Corrosion protection Your vehicle is constructed with protection against corrosion.
Corrosion protection for the body consists of modern metallic protective coatings on thesheet metal, a high-quality painting process,corrosion-protected and minimized metaloverlap, and shielding plastic components,abrasion protection and supplemental rustinhibitor in exposed areas. In the chassis,exposed components of the wheel suspensionare made of corrosion-resistant cast alumi-num.
Inspection and maintenanceThe corrosion protection does not normallyrequire maintenance, but keeping the vehicleclean helps reduce the risk of corrosion. Theuse of strong alkaline or acidic cleaning fluidsshould be avoided on shiny body components.Any stone chips in the paint should betouched up as soon as they are discovered.
