MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
• Avoid cleaning the vehicle in direct sunlight.
• When cleaning the vehicle in winter avoid spraying
water directly onto door locks and panel gaps due
to risk of icing.
• Do not use rough sponges or cloth to clean the car,
this will damage the paintwork finish.
• When cleaning the headlamps do not use a dry cloth
or sponge, use only warm soapy water.
Cleaning with a High Pressure Cleaner
Note: Always read the manufacturers operating
instructions.
When using high pressure washers, always ensure there is
adequate distance between the spray nozzle and any soft
materials, decals or rubber seals.

Removing tar spots
Use white spirit to remove tar spots and stubborn grease
stains from the paintwork. Then wash the area immediately
with soapy water to remove all traces of the spirit.
Body Protection
After washing, examine the paintwork for damage. If the
damage has revealed bare metal, use a colored primer first,
then apply the correct colour base coat and finish off with
a lacquer pencil, if appropriate. Carry out this treatment
after washing but before polishing or waxing.
extensive damage to paint or bodywork must be repaired
in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Failure to do this will invalidate the Anti-Corrosion
Warranty. If in doubt, ask your MG Authorised Repairer.
