Bodywork maintenance
Wash your car frequently,
, with cleaning products
recommended by the manufacturer
(never use abrasive products). Rinse
thoroughly with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and
underneath the body which forms
damp patches;
– , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
wash the vehicle
to remove these marks since it
is impossible to remove them by
polishing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after
driving in areas where the roads
have been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves,
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.
Do not degrease or clean mechanical
components (e.g. the engine
compartment), underneath the body,
parts with hinges (e.g. inside the doors)
and painted plastic external fittings
(e.g. bumpers) using high-pressure
cleaning equipment or by spraying on
products not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Scrape off mud or dirt without pre-
wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor
impacts.
Use solvents not approved by our
Technical Department to remove stains
as this could damage the paintwork.
Drive in snow or muddy conditions
without washing the vehicle, particularly
under the wheel arches and body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended
to maintain the exterior of the vehicle
regularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
– atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather
conditions (e.g. road salt in winter,
water from road cleaners, etc.).
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor
precautions in order to safeguard your
vehicle against such risks.
