Always keep the automobile care products safe from people who are not
■
completely independent, e.g. children - there is a danger of poisoning!
Protect your hands and arms from sharp-edged metal parts when clean-
■
ing the underfloor, the inside of the wheel housings or the wheel trims –
risk of cuts!
CAUTION
Do not use any insect sponges, kitchen scrubbers or similar cleaning prod-
■
ucts – there is a risk of damaging the paintwork finish.
Cleaners containing solvents can damage the material being cleaned.

Preserving the vehicle paintwork
145
Thorough wax treatment is an effective way of protecting the paintwork from
145
harmful environmental influences.
The vehicle must be treated with a high-quality hard wax polish at the latest,
when no more drops form on the clean paintwork.
A new layer of a high-quality hard wax polish can be applied to the clean body-
work after it has dried thoroughly.
Even if you use a wax preserver regularly we still recommend that you treat
the paintwork of the vehicle at least twice a year with hard wax.
Polishing
Polishing is necessary if the vehicle's paintwork has become unattractive and
if it is no longer possible to achieve a gloss with wax preservatives.
If the polish does not contain any preserving elements, the paint must be trea-
ted with a preservative afterwards.
CAUTION
Paint damage is to be repaired immediately.
■
Never apply wax to the windows.
■
Mat painted or plastic parts must not be treated with polishing products or
■
hard waxes.
Do not polish the paintwork in a dusty environment - there is a risk of
■
scratching the paintwork.
Do not apply polish to door seals or window guides.
■
If possible, do not apply any polish to body surfaces that come into contact
■
with door seals and window guides.
Plastic parts
Clean plastic parts with a damp cloth.
If this method does not clean plastic parts completely, use a specific plastic
care product.
