6-2 Regular Maintenance 217
■ Wax the painted surface for protection once a month or when the vehicle
body surface do not have goo water-resistant performance and regularly
drive the vehicle to a professional automobile beauty shop for maintenance
(once a quarter) to recover the brightness and glossiness of the painted
surface of vehicle body.
■ Use high-quality polishing agent and vehicle wax. If the vehicle's polished
surface is found with serious wreathing effect, use a vehicle cleaning and
polishing agent separate from vehicle wax. Observe the manufacturer's
specifications carefully and take specified preventive measures. The
chrome plated surface should be polished and waxed the same as the
painted surface.
■ If the vehicle is to be re-painted and parked in a high-temperature painting
and waxing workshop, the vehicle's plastic bumper should be removed,
because high temperature may damage the bumper.
