• 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 diffi-
cult to remove and cause damage to the vehicle
• Immediately remove items such as gasoline, diesel fuel,
bird droppings and insect deposits; they can cause dam-
age to the vehicle's paint work and trim over time
Exterior Chrome
• Wash the vehicle first, using cool or lukewarm water
and a neutral pH shampoo
• Use the custom bright metal cleaner, available from
your Authorized Mahindra Dealer. Apply the product as
you would wax to clean chrome parts; allow the cleaner
to dry for a few minutes, and then wipe off the haze
with a clean, dry rag
• Never use abrasive materials such as steel wool or plas-
tic pads as they can leave scratches on the chrome sur-
face
• After polishing the chrome parts, you can also apply a
coating of Premium Liquid Wax, available from your
Authorized Mahindra Dealer, or an equivalent quality
product to help protect from environmental effects
Paint Chips
• Mahindra dealers have the exact touch-up paint to
match your vehicle's color.
• Take your vehicle to an Authorized Mahindra Dealer for
paint touch-up or paint repairs.
• Remove particles such as bird droppings, tree sap,
insect deposits, tar spots, road salt and industrial fall-
out before repairing paint chips.
• Always read the instructions before using the products.
Aluminium Wheels And Wheel Covers (if equipped)
Aluminum wheels and wheel covers are coated with a clear
coat paint finish. In order to maintain their shine;
• Clean weekly with wheel and tyre cleaner, which is
available from an Authorized Mahindra Dealer. Heavy
dirt and brake dust accumulation may require agitation
with a sponge. Rinse thoroughly with a strong stream of
water
• Never apply any cleaning chemicals to hot or warm
wheel rims or covers
