Cleaning and Vehicle Care
CLEANING THE SOLAR ROOF
Clean the solar roof with a soft cloth and a
mild solution of soap and water, or car
shampoo. Do not scrape the glass or use
any abrasive cleaning fluid.
If you notice any damage on the solar roof,
please contact your local Fisker Automotive
Retailer for advice.
UNDERHOOD CLEANING
CAUTION: Never use a pressure
washer or a steam cleaner to clean
components in the engine compartment, as
it may damage critical seals on high voltage
electrical components.
Note: Vehicle or paint damage caused by
using a pressure washer will not be covered
under the vehicle warranty.
POLISHING THE BODY
CAUTION: Do not use cutting pastes,
color restoration compounds, or
polishes containing harsh abrasives. These
can scour the surface and permanently
damage the paintwork.
CAUTION: Chrome polish, or other
abrasive cleaners, must not be used
on the vehicle's brightwork.
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the
body, occasionally treat the paint surfaces
with an approved polish containing the
following properties:
• Very mild abrasive to remove surface
contamination without removing or
damaging the paint.
• Filling compounds that will fill scratches
and reduce their visibility.
• Wax to provide a protective coating
between the paint and the elements.
PAINT DAMAGE AND
RECTIFICATION
Regularly inspect the paintwork for
damage. Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the paint/bodywork should be
repaired promptly. Bare metal will corrode
quickly and, if left untreated can result in
expensive repairs.
Treat chips and scratches to the paint using
a paint touch-up pen. Use the touch-up pen
after washing but before polishing or
waxing.
More extensive repairs to the body should
only be carried out by a facility approved by
Fisker Automotive. Contact your local
Fisker Automotive Retailer for a list of
approved body repair facilities.
USING A CAR COVER
CAUTION: Never use a car cover
when the vehicle is plugged in, doing
so can prevent the battery from being
adequately cooled during charging.
To preserve the cosmetic appearance of the
body when the vehicle is not being used,
you may want to use a car cover. Only a
Fisker Automotive approved car cover
should be used.
