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.
