General
Proper care retains the value of your vehicle.
Regular and proper care retains the value of your vehicle. It may also be
one of the requirements for the acceptance of warranty claims relating to
corrosion damage and paint defects on the bodywork.
We recommend using a preservative from Škoda genuine accessories
offered by your Škoda dealer. Please follow the instructions for use on the
package.

Washing the vehicle
Frequent washing protects your vehicle.
The best protection for your vehicle against harmful environmental influ-
ences is frequent washing and wax treatment. How often you should
wash your vehicle depends on a wide range of factors, such as:
• Frequency of use,
• The parking situation (garage, below trees etc.),
• Season of the year,
• Weather conditions,
• Environmental influences.
The longer insect residues, bird droppings, tree sap, road and industrial
dust, tar, soot particles, road salt and other aggressive deposits remain
adhering to the paintwork of your vehicle, the more detrimental their
destructive effect can be. High temperatures, such as those caused by
intensive sun's rays, accentuate this caustic effect.
It may therefore be necessary, in certain circumstances, to wash the car
once a week. It may also be sufficient, however, to wash the car once a
month followed by appropriate wax treatment.
It is essential to also thoroughly wash the underside of your vehicle at
the end of the winter road salting and gritting period.
