RECOMMENDATIONS TO
PRESERVE THE BODYWORK
PAINT
The characteristics of these products are
compatible with the type of paint, gas-
kets and trim of all Alfa Romeo vehicles.
The paintwork does not only serve an
aesthetic purpose but also protects the
underlying sheet metal.
Particular care should be taken to en-
sure that residual deposits of industrial
dust, tar spots, dead insects etc. do not
remain on the bodywork.
The application of these products should
however be carried out by Alfa Romeo
personnel who will be able to guarantee
the best results and avoid problems which
may compromise the bodywork warranty
cover.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores
you are advised to have the necessary
touching up carried out immediately by a
specialised workshop to avoid the forma-
tion of rust.

as, during certain seasons, residues, buds
and leaves containing chemical sub-
stances which are harmful to the paint
may fall onto the vehicle.
Normal paint maintenance consists in
washing at intervals depending on the
conditions and environment of use.
Detergents cause water
pollution. The car should
therefore be washed in
areas equipped for the collection
and purification of the liquid used
in the washing processes.
When topping up ensure that petrol, lu-
bricating oil, brake fluid, liquid for the
cooling system, battery electrolyte solu-
tion etc. is not splashed onto the body-
work.

area immediately and wash the vehicle
as soon as possible.
