Machine washing
Hand washing of a car is superior to machine washing. We recommend that you do not wash your car in
an automatic wash during the first six months(because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).
If automatic car washing is essential use only reputable establishments with non-synthetic brushes.
Synthetic brushes may cause the paints top surface to be scratched.

Bird droppings
Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.

Chromed parts
Chromium-plated and anodized parts should be washed with clean water as soon as they become dirty.
This is particularly important if you drive on gravel roads or on roads where salt is used during the
winter. After the car has been washed, apply wax or an anti-rust preparation.
Stains on chrome trim can be removed with commercially available chrome cleaner. Do not use
Abrasive compounds or steel wool.

Polishing (waxing)
Normally, polishing is not required during the first year after delivery. Waxing may be beneficial.
Before applying polish or wax, the car must be washed and dried. Tar spots can be removed with
kerosene or tar remover. Difficult spots may require a fine rubbing compound.
After polishing use liquid or paste wax.
Several commercially available products contain both polish and wax. Waxing alone does not substitute
for polishing of a dull surface.
A wide range of polymer based car waxes can be purchased today. The waxes are easy to use and
produce a long lasting high gloss finish which protects the bodywork against oxidation, road dirt and
fading.

Cleaning the upholstery
Generally the fabric can be cleaned with soapy water or a detergent. For more difficult spots caused by
oil, ice cream, shoe polish, grease, etc., use a stain remover.
The plastic in the upholstery can be washed.
To clean leather upholstery, use soft cloth and mild soap solution, for instance common bath soap.
