Contamination on the paint fin-
ish is particularly easy to see
after the motorcycle as been
washed. Remove stains of this
kind immediately using clean-
ing-grade benzine or petro-
leum spirit on a clean cloth or
ball of cotton wool. We recom-
mend that specks of tar be
removed with BMW tar
remover. Then add a protec-
tive wax coating to the paint at
these locations.
Protective wax coating
For the protective wax coating
of paint, we recommend that
you use only BMW vehicle wax
or agents that contain car-
nauba wax or synthetic waxes.
The best way to see whether
the paint has to be protected
is that water no longer forms
pearls.
Touching up
Your authorised BMW motor-
cycle dealer is equipped with
suitable systems for rapid and
low-cost correction of minor
paint damage. We recom-
mend that minor paintwork
flaws be rectified with a BMW
paint spray or a BMW paint
pencil and larger paint dam-
age be dealt with at your
authorised BMW motorcycle
dealer by a specialised repair
paint job carried out in accord-
ance with works specifications
with original BMW paints.
Rubber
Treat rubber components with
water or BMW rubber protec-
tion coating agent.
The use of silicon sprays
to care for rubber gas-
kets can lead to damage.
Do not use silicon sprays or
other care products that
contain silicon.c
