REPAIRING MINOR PAINT
DAMAGE
You should repair paintwork damage
caused by stones from the road or minor
scratches as soon as possible. A choice of
products are available from an authorized
dealer.
Remove particles such as bird droppings,
tree sap, insect deposits, tar spots, road
salt and industrial fallout before repairing
paint chips.
Always read and follow the
manufacturer's instructions before using
the products.

CLEANING THE WHEELS

Note: Do not apply a cleaning chemical
to warm or hot wheel rims and covers.
Note: Industrial-strength (heavy-duty)
cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, in
combination with brush agitation to
remove brake dust and dirt, could wear
away the clear coat finish over a period of
time.
Note: Do not use hydrofluoric acid-
based or high caustic-based wheel
cleaners, steel wool, fuels or strong
household detergent.

Vehicle Care
Note: If you intend parking your vehicle
for an extended period after cleaning the
wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your
vehicle for a few minutes before doing so.
This will reduce the risk of increased
corrosion of the brake discs, brake pads
and linings.
Note: Some automatic car washes may
cause damage to the finish on your wheel
rims and covers.
Alloy wheels and wheel covers are
coated with a clear coat paint finish. To
maintain their condition we recommend
that you:
Clean them weekly with the
recommended wheel and tire cleaner.
Use a sponge to remove heavy
deposits of dirt and brake dust
accumulation.
Rinse them thoroughly with a
pressurized stream of water when you
have completed the cleaning process.
Consult your authorized dealer for
approved cleaning products.
Using other non-recommended cleaning
products can result in severe and
permanent cosmetic damage.
