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.
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.

WAXING
Regular waxing is necessary to protect your
car's paint from the elements. We
recommend that you wash and wax the
painted surface once or twice a year.
When washing and waxing, park your vehicle
in a shaded area out of direct sunlight.
Always wash your vehicle before applying
wax.
•
Use a quality wax that does not contain
abrasives.
•
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to
apply and remove the wax.
•
Apply a small amount of wax in a
back-and-forth motion, not in circles.
