Cleaning the vehicle

Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on the
painted surfaces. Once softened, mud and dirt should be removed with a soft sponge
for bodywork soaked in water and "shampoo" (2-4% of shampoo in water). Then rinse
abundantly with water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the outside of the engine,
use petroleum, a brush and clean cloths. Petrol can damage paintwork. Remember
that any polishing with silicone wax must always be preceded by washing.
