WASHING THE EXTERIOR
Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm
water and a neutral Ph shampoo, such as Motorcraft
Detail Wash (ZC-3–A), which is available from your
dealer.
• Never use strong household detergents or soap,
such as dish washing or laundry liquid. These
products can discolor and spot painted surfaces.
• Never wash a vehicle that is “hot to the touch” or
during exposure to strong, direct sunlight.
• Always use a clean sponge or car wash mitt with
plenty of water for best results.
• Dry the vehicle with a chamois or soft terry cloth
towel in order to eliminate water spotting.
• It is especially important to wash the vehicle
regularly during the winter months, as dirt and
road salt are difficult to remove and cause
damage to the vehicle.
• Immediately remove items such as gasoline, diesel
fuel, bird droppings and insect deposits because
they can cause damage to the vehicle’s paintwork
and trim over time.
• Remove any exterior accessories, such as
antennas, before entering a car wash.
• Suntan lotions and insect repellents can
damage any painted surface; if these
substances come in contact with your
vehicle, wash off as soon as possible.
WAXING
Applying a polymer paint sealant to your vehicle
every six months will assist in reducing minor
scratches and paint damage.
• Wash the vehicle first.
• Do not use waxes that contain abrasives.
• Do not allow paint sealant to come in contact with
any non-body (low-gloss black) colored trim, such
as grained door handles, roof racks, bumpers, side
