BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
You should
• Wash your car frequently,
preferably using our
recommended cleaning products,
using a high-pressure jet to rinse
off the underside of the car and
the wheel arches in particular to
remove:
- Spots of tree resin and industrial
grime.
- Bird droppings (these contain
chemical products which
rapidly discolour paintwork
and may even cause the paint to
peel off):
The car must be washed
immediately to remove these
marks since it is impossible to
remove them by polishing.
- Salt deposited in the wheel
arches and underneath the body
after driving in areas where the
roads are chemically treated.
- Mud in the wheel arches and
under the body which forms
damp patches.
• Keep well away from the vehicle
in front when driving on freshly
laid road surfaces to prevent paint
damage from chippings.
• Repair, or have repaired quickly
patches where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading.
• If your car is protected by the
RENAULT anti-corrosion warranty,
remember to visit the body shop
periodically. Consult the
anti-corrosion booklet.
• Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not
wash your car on a public
highway).
• Check the attachment of exterior
accessories, additional headlights,
door mirrors, etc., and secure the
windscreen wiper arms and radio
aerial with adhesive tape before
entering a revolving brush car
wash.
Remove the carphone and radio
antennae (if fitted).
• Spray mechanical components
with products approved by
RENAULT's Technical Department
to protect them after they have
been cleaned.
We have selected special
products to care for your car and
you can obtain these from
RENAULT accessory outlets.
