Matte paint finish vehicle (if equipped) 
Automatic car wash which uses rotating  
brushes should not be used as this can 
damage the surface of your vehicle. A 
steam cleaner which washes the vehicle 
surface at high temperature may result 
the oil to adhere and leave stains that is 
difficult to remove. 
Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfiber towel  
or sponge) when washing your vehicle 
and dry with a microfiber towel. When 
you hand wash your vehicle, you should 
not use a cleaner that finishes with wax. 
If the vehicle surface is too dirty (sand, 
dirt, dust, contaminant, etc.), clean the 
surface with water before washing the 
car.
Waxing
A good coat of wax is a barrier between  
your paint and contaminate. Keeping 
a good coat of wax on your vehicle will 
help protect it. 
Wax the vehicle when water will no  
longer bead on the paint. 
Always wash and dry the vehicle before  
waxing. Use a good quality liquid or 
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s 
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect 
it and to maintain its luster. 
Removing oil, tar, and similar materials  
with a spot remover will usually strip the 
wax from the finish. Be sure to re-wax 
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle 
does not yet need waxing.
