Exterior care
Washing
The paintwork of the vehicle
is exposed to environmental
inuences. Wash and wax regularly.
When using automatic vehicle
washes, select a programme that
includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects,
resin, pollen and the like should be
cleaned off immediately, as they
contain aggressive constituents
which can cause paint damage.
Failure to do so may result in
permanent damage, particularly in
hot weather conditions.
Road bloom is a gradual build up
of road and environmental grime.
This should be removed with a paint
cleaner once a year, in addition to
normal washing.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with
the vehicle wash manufacturer’s
instructions. Never use an automatic
wash that requires anything touching
the paint (other than water). The
wipers must be switched off.
Remove external accessories such
as roof racks, etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
ensure the inside of the wheel
housings are also thoroughly rinsed
out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet as well as the
areas they cover.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a Holden Dealer.
Caution
Do not clean the engine
compartment with a steam-jet or
high-pressure jet cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse and chamois
off the vehicle. Rinse chamois
frequently.
