BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
You should
• Wash your vehicle frequently,
preferably using our recommended
cleaning products and use a
high-pressure jet to rinse off the
underside of the vehicle and the
wheel arches in particular to get rid
of:
- spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
- bird droppings, which contain
chemicals which rapidly
discolour paintwork and may
even cause the paint to peel off:
The vehicle 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 form
damp patches.
• Keep well away from the vehicle
in front when driving on
gravelled surfaces to prevent
paint damage.
• Repair, or have repaired quickly
patches where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading.
• Remember to visit the body shop
periodically in order to maintain
your RENAULT anti-corrosion
warranty. Contact the Servicing
booklet.
• Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not
wash your vehicle on a public
highway).
• Before entering a revolving brush
type car wash, check that external
accessories, additional driving
lights,doormirrors,etc.are
properly secured and secure the
windscreen wiper arms and radio
aerial with adhesive tape.
If your vehicle has a vehicle
phone, remove the aerial.
• 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 vehicle
and you can obtain these from
RENAULT accessory outlets.
