If any small amount of wax flow out of the cavities at high temperatures, these
must be removed with a plastic scraper and the stains cleaned using a petrole-
um cleaner.
Underbody
The underside of your vehicle is already permanently protected by the factory
against chemical and mechanical influences.
We recommend having the protective coating — preferably before the begin-
ning of winter and at the end of winter.
Product life of the films
Environmental influences (eg. sunlight, humidity, air pollution, chipping) will af-
fect the life of the films. Films will age and become brittle - this is entirely nor-
mal; this is not a fault.
The sunlight may also affect the strength of the film colour.
When transporting a load on the roof rack (e.g. roof box or similar) there is an
increased risk of film damage (e.g. of chipping from the secured load).

General Maintenance
Windows and door mirrors
■
Do not clean the inside of the windows with sharp objects - there is a risk
■
of damage to the filaments.
Do not use a cloth which has been used to polish the body - this could dirty
■
the window and impair visibility.
Head / tail lights
■
Do not wipe head/tail lamps dry, do not use any sharp objects - risk of dam-
■
age to the protective coating and cracks forming on the headlamp glass cov-
ers.
Door lock cylinders
■
Make sure that as little water as possible gets into the locking cylinder
■
when washing the vehicle - there is a risk of freezing the lock cylinder!
Wheels
■
Heavy soiling of the wheels can affect the balance of the wheels - the re-
■
sult can be a vibration, which can cause premature wear of the steering.
