CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or
lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo, such as Motorcraft® Detail
Wash.
• 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.
• Dry the vehicle with a chamois or soft
terry cloth towel in order to eliminate
water spotting.
• 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. Use Motorcraft® Bug
and Tar Remover.
• Remove any exterior accessories, such
as antennas, before entering a car
wash.
Note: 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.
Exterior Chrome
Note: Never use abrasive materials such as
steel wool or plastic pads as they can
scratch the chrome surface.
Note: Do not use chrome cleaner, metal
cleaner or polish on wheels and wheel
covers
