13.12 Appearance Care and Protection
13.12.1 Washing the Exterior
•
Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water and a neutral pH soap
•
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; they can cause damage
to the vehicle's paint work and trim over time
