Warning
Take care when moving the
vehicle after washing, in case
water has affected the brakes.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected. To dry them quickly,
lightly apply the brakes while
maintaining a slow forward speed
with a clear area ahead, until
brake performance returns to
normal.
Vehicle Graphics
Care for your vehicle graphics like
you would any fine paint finish.
Wash Regularly
.
Wash whenever the vehicle
appears dirty. Contaminants
allowed to remain on the graphic
may be more difficult to remove
during cleaning.
.
Rinse off as much dirt and grit
as possible first with a spray of
water. See 'Difficult
Contaminants' below for spot
cleaning of bird droppings,
tar, etc.
.
Use a wet, non-abrasive
detergent and a soft, clean cloth
or sponge.
.
Rinse thoroughly with clean
water. To reduce water spotting,
immediately use a silicone
squeegee to remove water and
finish with a clean microfibre
cloth.
Caution
It is not recommended to apply
wax or other similar coatings on
vehicle graphics.
Automated Car Washes
Touch-less car washes are the best
for graphic care. Use of brush car
washes (depending upon the
frequency and quality of brush) may
cause dulling, scratching or lift the
edge of the graphics.
