10-76 Vehicle Care
The bright metal mouldings on the
vehicle are aluminium and stainless
steel. To prevent damage always
follow these cleaning instructions:
Be sure the moulding is cool to
the touch before applying any
cleaning solution.
Use a cleaning solution
approved for aluminium and
stainless steel. Some cleaners
are highly acidic or contain
alkaline substances and can
damage the mouldings.
Always dilute a concentrated
cleaner according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Do not use chrome cleaners.
Do not use cleaners that are not
intended for automotive use.
Use a nonabrasive wax on the
vehicle after washing to protect
and extend the moulding finish.
Convertible Top Care
Frequently hand wash convertible
tops with mild car wash soap. Never
use a stiff brush, steam, bleach,
or aggressive cleaners.
If necessary, a soft brush can be
used to remove dirt. When finished
cleaning, thoroughly rinse the fabric.
Avoid automatic car washes with
overhead brushes or very
high-pressure sprays as they can
cause damage and leaking.
Only lower the top when it is
completely dry and avoid leaving
the top lowered for extended
periods of time to prevent excessive
interior weathering.
Avoid leaving large amounts of
snow on the top for extended
periods of time as damage may also
occur.
Carbon Fibre Panels
Carbon fibre panels can be washed
and waxed like any other panels.
For exposed weave carbon fibre,
use a clear or black pigmented wax
on the inner bonnet carbon fibre
panel.
Cleaning Exterior Lamps/
Lenses, Emblems, Decals and
Stripes
Use only lukewarm or cold water, a
soft cloth, and a car washing soap
to clean exterior lamps, lenses,
emblems, decals and stripes. Follow
instructions under "Washing the
Vehicle" previously in this section.
Lamp covers are made of plastic,
and some have a UV protective
coating. Do not clean or wipe them
while they are dry.
Do not use any of the following on
lamp covers:
Abrasive or caustic agents.
Washer fluids and other cleaning
agents in higher concentrations
than suggested by the
manufacturer.
