Caution
To avoid damage to a matte paint finish,
do not use an automatic car wash
equipped with brushes or scrubbers. Only
use touchless automatic car washes.
If using an automatic car wash, follow the
car wash instructions. The windshield wiper
and rear window wiper, if equipped, must
be off. Remove any accessories that may be
damaged or interfere with the car wash
equipment.

the surface, they could stain.
Dry the finish with a soft, clean chamois or
an all-cotton towel to avoid surface
scratches and water spotting.
