• Always use a clean sponge or car wash mitt with plenty of water for
best results.
• Dry your vehicle with a chamois or soft, terry cloth towel in order to
eliminate water spotting.
• It is especially important to wash your vehicle regularly during the
winter months, as dirt and road salt are difficult to remove and cause
damage to the vehicle.
• 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
(ZC-42), which is available from an authorized dealer.
• Remove any exterior accessories, such as antennas, before entering a
car wash.
• 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.
• If your vehicle is equipped with running boards, use Motorcraft Detail
Wash (ZC-3-A), and, as required, Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover
(ZC-42), both as per the directions on the products' labels. To
manually dry, use a clean, dry, lint-free towel. Do not use rubber,
plastic and vinyl protectant products on the running board surface, as
the area may become slippery.
Exterior Chrome
• Wash your vehicle first, using cool or lukewarm water and a neutral
pH shampoo, such as Motorcraft Detail Wash (ZC-3-A).
• Use Motorcraft Custom Bright Metal Cleaner (ZC-15), available from
an authorized dealer. Apply the product as you would a wax to clean
bumpers and other chrome parts; allow the cleaner to dry for a few
minutes, and then wipe off the haze with a clean, dry rag.
• Never use abrasive materials, such as steel wool or plastic pads, as
they can scratch the chrome surface.
Underbody
Flush the complete underside of your vehicle frequently. Keep body and
door drain holes free from packed dirt.
