Chrome-plated components washing
Wash using neutral shampoo and warm water cleaning the inner chassis with a
sponge to remove dirt. Do not rub emphatically. Rinse with warm water and dry. Once
the cleaning is complete, dry the components completely, to avoid water spots.
Finishing with protection paint
Apply the protective paint as soon as the first rusting signs appear. To obtain optimum
finishing, we recommend using a small brush and shaking the paint before its use.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply where impairment signs are seen. Do not
apply on surfaces around the impaired or scratched spot.
Wax slick
The waxed slicks of painted parts keep the original brightness of the vehicle. Wash
always the vehicle before this operation. Use always good quality silicone wax and
follow the precaution interactions of the manufacturer.
