2005 Ford Taurus Owners Manual

Cleaning
WASHING THE EXTERIOR
Wash your vehicle  regularly with cool  or lukewarm water and  a neutral
pH shampoo, such  as Motorcraft Detail  Wash (ZC-3–A), which is
available from your  dealer.
Never use strong  household detergents or  soap, such as dish  washing
or laundry liquid.  These products can  discolor and spot painted
surfaces.
Never wash a  vehicle that is  “hot to the touch”  or during exposure  to
strong, direct sunlight.
Always use a  clean sponge or  car wash mitt with  plenty of water  for
best results.
Dry the vehicle  with a chamois  or soft terry cloth  towel in order  to
eliminate water spotting.
It is especially  important to wash  the vehicle regularly during  the
winter months, as  dirt and road  salt are difficult to  remove and cause
damage to the  vehicle.
Immediately remove items  such as gasoline,  diesel fuel, bird droppings
and insect deposits  because they can  cause damage to the  vehicle’s
paintwork and trim  over time.
Remove any exterior  accessories, such as  antennas, before entering a
car wash.

WAXING
Applying Motorcraft Paint  Sealant (ZC-45) to  your vehicle every six
months will assist  in reducing minor  scratches and paint damage.
Wash the vehicle  first.
Do not use  waxes that contain  abrasives; use Motorcraft Premium
Liquid Wax (ZC-53-A),  which is available  from your dealer, or  an
equivalent quality product.
Do not allow  paint sealant to  come in contact with  any non-body
(low-gloss black) colored  trim, such as  grained door handles, roof
racks, bumpers, side  moldings, mirror housings  or the windshield cowl
area. The paint  sealant will “gray”  or stain the parts  over time.
PAINT CHIPS
Your dealer has  touch-up paint and  sprays to match your  vehicle’s color.
Take your color  code (printed on  a sticker in the  driver’s door jamb)  to
your dealer to  ensure you get  the correct color.
