Waxing:
- You are strongly advised to regularly use a
wax
added
to the washing water or applied
separately.
It protects the upper coats of
paint
against
corrosion.
Buffing:
-
Buffing is only
carried
out
on paintwork
when it
is
tarnished and
when the
use of a
wax
product
is no longer
sufficient
to restore
it to the required shine. Use only slightly
abrasive products.
Headlights:
- The headlights with their double reflectors
and
complex
surfaces are fitted with a
poly-
carbonate
glass coated with a protective
varnish.
You are strongly
advised
not to
clean them using a dry or abrasive cloth
or
with
detergent products
or
solvents.
Plastic parts:
- The exterior plastic parts
of
the vehicle
must
be
cleaned
by
an
ordinary
washing
process. For
tar splashes
there
are specific
products
and
colour
restorers
(for
bumpers).
Retouching
paintwork:
- You should prevent the spread
of
rust
from
accidental damage
(stone
chips,
scratches,
etc
..).
Make sure
that
any damage noticed
is quickly repaired by a Peugeot
dealer.
Never:
-

petrol,
kerosene, stain-removing
cloths
for
cleaning the paintwork
and
the plastic
parts.
-
Scratch
away traces
of
tar,
dead
insects,
bird
droppings.
- Wash
the bodywork
when hot or in
full sun-
light or
in excessively
low temperatures.
-
Allow
dirt
to accumulate on the
outside.
-
Drive frequently
in snow and mud without
washing the
wheel
arches and the under-
side of the
body.
- Polish the
plastic parts.
- Use
products
containing
silicon.
Always:
-
Consult
a
Peugeot dealer
who
will
be able
to advise
you on
the
best
quality
products
selected by
our
departments
and which will
meet your
