TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
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.
Automatic c c ar w w ashes
The vehicle paint is so durable that the
vehicle can normally be washed without
problems in an automatic car wash.
However the influence on the Paint
depends on the design of the car wash,
the filtering of the wash water, the type of
wash and care material, etc.
