Care
of
paintwork
To keep its gloss and finish, the
paintwork
needs
proper care.
If the paintwork
is
damaged, e.g. by a
flying
stone,
the spot can be cleaned and covered with air-drying
touch-up paint.
Touch-up
in
the standard Saab colors
can
be
purchased from
your
Saab dealer.
Washing
The car should be washed frequently. When it is
new, it should
be
washed by hand using
only
cold water
and a clean, soft brush attached to a hose. Automatic
car washes should
be
avoided
during
the first few months.
After five to six months the paintwork has hardened and
to make washing easier, a car shampoo
or
mild washing-
up liquid may be added
to
the water, which may be warm
but not hot. Even the underbody should be washed
regularly and special attention should be given
to
the
wheel housings. This is particularly necessary when
automatic car washes are used
as
these
do
not
generally
include washing of the underbody.
Never wash the car in strong sunlight, and always
wipe it
dry
with a clean chamois leather if streaks on
the
pa
intwork are to be avoided.
Windows are best cleaned with a chamois leather
or
soft linen cloth moistened in water.
Polishing
The general rule is that synthetic lacquer should not
be
polished until it
is
absolutely necessary. In any event,
it should not be
pOlished until it has aged properly, which
takes five
or
six months. Never use a polish containing
