INTERIOR
During the winter period, it is possible
that the carpet within the passenger
compartment may become wet. The
carpet should not be allowed to remain
in this condition for prolonged periods
since the carpet may begin to create
musty smells and promote internal
corrosion of the floorpan.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE

VALETING

JE050A2-E
Regular cleaning of the exterior
paintwork serves two important func-
tions. Firstly, the removal of abrasive
dirt and contaminants will maintain the
lustre of the paintwork and will prevent
discolouration and dulling due to pro-
longed contact.
Secondly, the presence of damage
through impact or abrasion will be ap-
parent allowing early rectification to be
made thus preventing corrosion from
becoming established and spreading
beneath the paint film. To avoid "water
spotting" the vehicle should not be
washed in direct sunlight particularly in
the case of vehicles having dark body
colours. The heat from the sun rays is
absorbed by the paint film increasing
the surface temperature. This action
causes water used for washing to
evaporate quickly leaving behind the
deposits from the water and the sham-
poo used.

APPEARANCE CARE
Use only a shampoo intended for the
purpose and ensure that the body work
is thoroughly wet to soften the dirt film
prior to attempting to remove this.
After removing the dirt film with a soft
sponge, the body work should be thor-
oughly rinsed and then dried with a
good quality chamois leather to pre-
vent streaking or spotting of the paint
work.
Household detergents, solvents and
abrasive cleaning materials should not
be used in order to avoid damaging the
paint film.
High pressure car washes may cause
water to enter your car.
Plastic wheel covers should be cleaned
using a sponge and water. Cast alloy
wheels should be cleaned using a mild
soap or neutral detergent. Abrasive
compounds must not be used since in
the event of these damaging the lac-
quer coating, oxidisation of the alu-
minium wheel will occur, spoiling the
appearance.
The use of a toothbrush will facilitate
cleaning between the wheel "spokes".
