MATT PAINT
If you vehicle is fi nished with a clear matt lacquer, please observe the
following recommendations to avoid damaging the paintwork by the use
of an inappropriate cleaning procedures.
These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels fi nished
with clear matt lacquer.
Never clean the vehicle without water.
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will
make the paintwork shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or
preserving products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork.
These products are only suitable for bright fi nishes. Application of
these products on vehicles with a matt fi nish will seriously damage
the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible shiny or
stained areas.
Never use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fi tted with a
brush, this may scratch the paintwork.
Never select a wash programme that fi nishes with a hot wax
cycle.
We recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a
water hose with a high output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.
Use only a microfi bre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and
used without heavy pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the bodywork using a
soft cloth, then leave to dry.
From the range of cleaning and maintenance products in the
"TECHNATURE" range recommended and approved by PEUGEOT,
use only the insect remover and car shampoo, which are the only
products to be used on the bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to remove minor marks
(for example: fi nger marks...).
Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
