■ Maintaining the Finish
▼ Washing
To help protect the finish from rust
and deterioration, wash your Mazda
thoroughly and frequently, at least
once a month, with lukewarm or cold
water.
If the vehicle is washed improperly,
the paint surface could be scratched.
Here are some examples of how
scratching could occur.
Scratches occur on the paint surface
when:
• The vehicle is washed without first
rinsing off dirt and other foreign
matter.
• The vehicle is washed with a
rough, dry, or dirty cloth.
• The vehicle is washed at a car wash
that uses brushes that are dirty or
too stiff.
• Cleansers or wax containing
abrasives are used.
