Cleaning & Vehicle Care
Corrosive materials used for snow and ice
removal and dust control can collect on
underbody parts. If these materials are not
removed, accelerated rusting can occur. Use a
hose to regularly flush the underbody with plain
water, taking particular care to thoroughly clean
those areas where mud and other debris can
easily collect.
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.
When using a hose, do not direct the jet into the
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.

CAUTION: Read individual product warnings
before using any car cleaning or washing
products.
CAUTION: Some high pressure cleaning
systems are sufficiently powerful to penetrate
door and window seals and damage rubbing
strips and locking mechanisms. Never aim the
water jet directly at heater air intakes, body and
sunroof seals, or at any components that might
easily be damaged.
Steam cleaning
Before steam cleaning the engine
compartment, cover the power steering and
brake fluid reservoirs to prevent contamination
of fluid. After steam cleaning carefully re-wax
the metallic components, especially the
steering column, engine coolant pipes, hose
clips and the ignition coil clamp, to prevent
corrosion - if necessary contact your Land
Rover retailer for advice.
Wash your vehicle frequently using a sponge
and generous quantities of cold or slightly
warm water containing a car shampoo. Rinse
and dry off with a chamois leather.
Removing tar spots

•
Do not use hot water!
Use mineral spirits to remove tar spots and
stubborn grease stains from paintwork. Then
wash immediately with soapy water to remove
all traces of spirit.
Do not use detergent soap products or
washing-up liquid!
•
In hot weather, do not wash the vehicle in
direct sunlight.
Body protection
After washing, inspect the paintwork for
damage. Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the bodywork should be repaired
promptly. Bare metal will corrode quickly and
can develop into major repair expense. Some
