Do not use cleaners that are not
intended for automotive use.
Use a nonabrasive wax on the
vehicle after washing to protect
and extend the moulding finish.
Cleaning Exterior Lamps/Lenses,
Emblems, Decals, and Stripes
Use only lukewarm or cold water, a
soft cloth, and a car washing soap to
clean exterior lamps, lenses, emblems,
decals, and stripes. Follow instructions
under "Washing the Vehicle"

Washer fluids and other cleaning
agents in higher concentrations
than suggested by the

harsh cleaners.
Ice scrapers or other hard items.
Aftermarket appearance caps or
covers while the lamps are
illuminated, due to excessive heat
generated.

Caution
Using wax on low gloss black finish
stripes can increase the gloss level
and create a non-uniform finish.

between the bonnet and windscreen,
when washing the vehicle.
