Cleaning & vehicle care
WASHINGYOUR VEHICLE
Steam cleaning
Wash your vehicle frequentlyusing a clean,
grit free sponge and generous quantities of
cold or lukewarm water containing a car
shampoo. Rinse and dry off with a chamois
leather.
Before steam cleaning the engine
compartment, cover the brake, clutch and
power steering reservoirs to prevent
contamination. After steam cleaning, ensure
that metallic components are carefully
rewaxed, especiallythe steering column,
engine water pipes, hose clips and the ignition
coil clamp to prevent corrosion.

Do not use hot water!
Do not use detergent soap products or
washing-up liquid!
Getting rid of tar spots
Use white spirit to remove tar spots and
stubborn grease stains from paintwork. Then
wash immediatelyto remove all traces of
spirit.
During winter months when salt has been
used on the roads, use a hose to wash the
underside of the vehicle. Pay particular
attention to wheelarches and panel seams,
and to removing accumulations of mud.
Body protection
Similarly, after off-road driving or wading in
muddy or salt water conditions, use a hose to
wash underbody components and other
exposed parts of the vehicle.
After washing, inspect the paintworkfor
damage. Treat paint chips and scratches with
touch-up paint to prevent corrosion, and
occasionallyprotect the paint surface with an
application of car polish.
When using a hose, do not direct the jet into
the Turbo air intake (if fitted), heater air intake
ducts, or through the wheel trim apertures
onto the brake components, or at the door,
window or sunroof seals, where water
pressure could penetrate the seals.
Glass &mirrors
Clean the rear window with a soft cloth to
avoid damaging the heating elements. DO
NOTscrape the glass or use an abrasive
cleaning fluid.
Mirror glass is particularlysusceptible to
damage - DONOTuse abrasive cleaning
compounds or metal scrapers.
WARNING
Some high pressure cleaning systems are
sufficiently powerful to penetrate door or
window seals and damage rubbing strips
and locking mechanisms. Never aim the
water jet directly at components that might
easily be damaged.
