Paint Maintenance Tips
• Do not perform secondary painting if
there is no obvious scratches on the
nish, so as to prevent mismatch or
color incompatibility.
• When the vehicle is not used for a
long period, it should be parked in
a garage or a well-ventilated place,
and special body cover should be used
in winter. Choose a shady place for
parking temporarily.
• Prevent strong impacts, knocks or
scratches on the paint. If the paint
is scratched, dented or if it peels, it
should be repaired in time, preferably
by professional auto beauty provider.
•
Do not touch the paint with a greasy
hand or cloth. Do not place greasy
tools or rub with organic solvents
on the vehicle body so as to avoid
chemical reactions.
• The vehicle should be taken for a
paint check regularly (once a month or
whenever any problem is found) and
waxed once every three months.
• High quality polish and wax must
be used. If body nish is severely
weathered, use a car cleaning polish
separate from the wax. Carefully follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
precautions. Chrome nish should be
polished and waxed as well as painted
nish.
CAUTION
• The plastic bumper must be
removed if the vehicle is to be
repainted and parked in a high
temperature painting and waxing
workshop, as high temperatures
will damage the bumper.

under the following circumstances
which will cause peeling of paint layer
or corrosion of body and parts:

tar.
•Resin, bird droppings and insect
