It is recommended to use
BMW Motorrad solvent cleaner
and then apply BMW Motorrad
high-gloss polish to preserve

Contaminants on the paint sur-
face are particularly easy to see
after washing the vehicle. Re-
move this type of dirt immedi-
ately with cleaning benzene or
ethyl alcohol on a clean cloth
or cotton ball. BMW Motorrad
recommends removing tar
stains with BMW tar remover.
Then add a protective wax
coating to the paint at these
locations.

Apply a preservative when
water fails to bead up on the
painted surface.
BMW Motorrad recommends
BMW Motorrad high gloss pol-
ish or agents that contain car-

be preserved with chrome
polish.
Only use the agents recom-
mended by BMW Motorrad.
