The best protection against environmen-
tal influences is frequent washing and
use of the right waxing product.

How often this treatment is required
depends, amongst other things on how
much the vehicle is used, how it is parked
(garage, in open under trees etc.), the
seasons, weather conditions and environ-
mental influences.

In certain circumstances weekly washing
can be necessary, in other conditions
monthly washing with appropriate waxing
may be fully adequate.
After the period when salt is put on the
roads the underside of the vehicle should
always be washed thoroughly.
