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 authorized 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.
Su ntan lot ion s and inse ct repe lle nts can da ma ge any pa inted
su rface; if the se su bst ances come in con tact wit h you r vehicle ,
wash off as soon as possible .
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 authorized 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 authorized 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 authorized dealer to ensure you get the correct color.
