conditions such as high-pressure
car washers may cause water to
enter inside the vehicle. If the
vehicle is operated with foreign
material adhering to the exterior,
this material may react chemically
with paint, resulting in staining,
discoloration, rusting or corrosion of
components. Also, the material may
become trapped within mechanical
components, adversely affecting
their functions or forming an
aerodynamic resistance. In the
following cases, therefore, the
vehicle must be washed and all
foreign matter removed.
When soot, iron powder, dead
bugs, bird droppings, tree sap or
oily matter from coal tar and
smoke has adhered to painted
surfaces.
When the vehicle has been
driven in coastal areas.
When the vehicle has been
driven on roads where road
chemicals have been applied.
When a large amount of mud or
dirt has adhered to the exterior.
To wash the vehicle:
1. Fully turn on the tap, and wash
out the undercarriage and
suspension.
2. Close all openings and wash
the cab and cargo body panels
using a neutral detergent.
3. Clean wheels and tires using a
brush and detergent.
4. After washing away all
remaining detergent, use a
shammy or other clean cloth to
fully remove all moisture and
water droplets
