GENERAL INFORMATION
Your Ford or Lincoln authorized dealer has
many quality products available to clean
your vehicle and protect its finishes.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or
lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo, such as Motorcraft Detail Wash.
•
Never use strong household detergents
or soap, such as dish washing or
laundry liquid. These products can
discolor and spot painted surfaces.
•
Never wash a vehicle that is "hot to the
touch" or during exposure to strong,
direct sunlight.
•
Dry your vehicle with a chamois or soft
terry cloth towel in order to eliminate
water spotting.
•
Immediately remove items such as
gasoline, diesel fuel, bird droppings and
insect deposits because they can cause
damage to your vehicle s paintwork
and trim over time. Use Motorcraft Bug
and Tar Remover.
•
Remove any exterior accessories, such
as antennas, before entering a car
wash.
Note: Suntan lotions and insect repellents
can damage any painted surface; if these
substances come in contact with your
vehicle, wash off as soon as possible.
Stripes or Graphics (if equipped)
Do not use a commercial or high-pressure
sprayer on the surface or edge of stripes
and graphics. This can cause damage to
the film and cause the edge of the film to
peel away from the vehicle surface.

Vehicle Care
Exterior Chrome
Note: Never use abrasive materials such as
steel wool or plastic pads as they can
scratch the chrome surface.
Note: Do not use chrome cleaner, metal
cleaner or polish on wheels and wheel
covers
•
Wash your vehicle first, using cool or
lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo, such as Motorcraft Detail
Wash.
•
Use Motorcraft Custom Bright Metal
Cleaner. Apply the product as you
would a wax to clean bumpers and
other chrome parts; allow the cleaner
to dry for a few minutes, then wipe off
the haze with a clean, dry rag.
•
Do not apply cleaning product to hot
surfaces and do not leave cleaning
product on chrome surfaces longer
than the time recommended.
•
Using other non-recommended
cleaners can result in severe and
permanent cosmetic damage.
Underbody
Flush the complete underside of your
vehicle frequently. Keep body and door
drain holes free from packed dirt.
Cleaning Plastic Exterior Parts
Use only approved products to clean
plastic parts
•
For routine cleaning, use Motorcraft
Detail Wash.
•
If tar or grease spots are present, use
Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are
clean because grease and dirt buildup keep
the engine warmer than normal.
