Cleaning the exterior
The vehicle should be washed as soon as it becomes dirty. This makes the vehicle easierto clean because dirt does not attach asstrongly. It also reduces the risk of scratchesand keeps the vehicle looking new. Wash thevehicle in a car wash or garage with an oilseparator and use car washing detergent.

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.
