VEHICLE CARE
7. Rinse all surfaces thoroughly to prevent any traces of soap
and other cleaners as this may lead to the formation of
stains on the painted surface later.
NOTE
Do not direct high pressure washer fluid/ water jets at electrical
devices and their connectors during washing. This is to prevent
malfunction / failure of electrical system due to water ingress.
Waxing :
Waxing and polishing is recommended to maintain the gloss
and wet-look appearance of your paint finish.
1. Use a good quality polish and wax for your vehicle.
2. Re-wax your vehicle when the water does not slip off the
surface and collects over the surface in patches.
Tips for the care of your new vehicle finish :
If your vehicle is washed in an automatic car wash, please
remember that the paint can be scratched by type of brushes,
unfiltered washing water or the washing process itself.
Scratching reduces paint durability and gloss, especially on
darker colours. It is suggested to wash the vehicle by hand
with cool and clean water using a soft cloth or sponge. Please
do not use soap but a car shampoo recommended by your
dealer.
VEHICLE CARE :
Your vehicle is subjected to many external influences such as
climate, road conditions, industrial pollution and humidity. These
conditions demand regular care of the vehicle body. Dirt, insects,
bird droppings, oil, grease, fuel and stone chippings should be
removed as soon as possible.
Washing your vehicle :
Following tips while washing your vehicle :
HAND WASH:
1. Always wash your vehicle in shade and where the surface
is at room temperature.

a soft 100% cotton cloth to avoid scratches.
