frequently. Use separate chamois
for painted and glass surfaces:

some variation in gloss and colour
may exist in the engine bay or load
area and on the underside of the
vehicle.

WARNING
Take care when moving the
vehicle after washing, in case
water has affected the brakes.
Applying the brakes light ly will
indicate whether they have been
affected. To dry them quickly,
lightly apply the brakes whil e
maintaining a slow forward speed
with a clear area ahead, until
brake performance returns to
normal.
Exterior lights
Headlight and other light covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any
abrasive, solvent based cleaners or
caustic agents and do not
dry-clean them.
Air intakes
When washing the vehicle, clear
debris from the air i ntakes, between
the bonnet and windscreen, and
below the front bumper.
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Polishing is necessary only if the
paint has become dull or if solid
deposits have become attached
to it.
Paintwork polish with sili cone forms
a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts must not be
treated with wax or polishing
agents.
