• Immediately remove items such as gasoline, diesel fuel, bird droppings
and insect deposits because they can cause damage to the vehicle's
paintwork and trim over time. Use Motorcraft Bug and Tar Remover.
• Note: Suntan lotions and insect repellents can damage any painted
surface; if these substances come in contact with your vehicle, wash it
off as soon as possible.
• Remove any exterior accessories before entering a car wash.

Although hand washing is the preferred cleaning method, pressure
washing may be used under the following conditions:
• Never use water pressure higher than 2000 psi (14 MPa).
• Never use water temperature higher than 180°F (82°C).
• Use a spray nozzle with a 40 degree wide spray angle pattern.
• Keep the nozzle at least 12 inches (305 mm) away from and at a 90
degree angle to the vehicle surface. Holding the nozzle of a pressure
washer at an angle to the vehicle surface may lift the edges of the film
and cause the film to peel away from the surface.
Exterior Chrome
Note: Never use abrasive materials such as steel wool or plastic pads as
they can scratch the chrome surface.
Note: Do not use chrome cleaner, metal cleaner or polish on wheels and
wheel covers.
• Wash the vehicle first, using cool or lukewarm water and a neutral pH
shampoo, such as Motorcraft Detail Wash.
• Use Motorcraft Custom Bright Metal Cleaner. Apply the product as you
would a wax to clean bumpers and other chrome parts; allow the cleaner
to dry for a few minutes, then wipe off the haze with a clean, dry rag.
• Do not apply cleaning product to hot surfaces and do not leave
cleaning product on chrome surfaces for a period of time exceeding
that which is recommended.
• Note: Using other non-recommended cleaners can result in severe
and permanent cosmetic damage.
Underbody
Flush the complete underside of your vehicle frequently. Keep body and
door drain holes free from packed dirt.
