Maintenance and Technical Data
In comparison to conventional paints with a gloss or metallic
surface, satin paint work must be cared for slightly differently. In
order to avoid damage to the satin paint work, make sure that the
cleaning and care points below are followed:
1. Only use cleaning products recommended by Aston Martin.
Abrasive cleaning products will change the satin appearance
of the paint and must not be used.
2. Do not polish or wax the paintwork. This can lead to
glossing of the paintwork.
3. Do not wash the car in an automatic car wash. This will
avoid particles such as sand and dust, from damaging the
painted surface.
4. Only use a soft sponge to clean the vehicle. Do not use
abrasive cleaning tools.
5. Remove insect remains, bird droppings, resins, tar spots,
fuels and oil immediately. Avoid strong rubbing while
cleaning the vehicle.
6. Any stickers applied to the paint work will leave a mark
when removed.
7. Repairs to the paint work must be completed by an Aston
Martin category A or B body shop.
Off-Road Use
If this vehicle has been used to drive in off road environments
additional cleaning may be required, such as under the body to
make sure all mud, salt and other contaminants are removed.
This will help protect the vehicle paintwork, under-body and
external components such as the parking sensors and trailer
electrical connection points.
Alternator
Caution: Do not use a high pressure stream such as a
pressure washer to rinse the alternator. This can cause
internal damage to the alternator.
If the alternator is submerged in muddy water, it should be rinsed
with a hose or similar to remove any mud. Mud and salt residue
can corrode and damage the internal windings. The vehicle
should then be driven to dry the alternator.
Underbody Protection
The underbody of this vehicle is protected with sacrificial
protective panels. Consult your dealer for inspection and repair
as necessary, especially after sustained off-road use or if the
underside of the vehicle been damaged.
