Polishing
Should only be done if paint has lost its
shine and gloss cannot be brought back
with wax. If the polish used does not con-
tain preservative compounds, the paint
must be waxed afterwards.

Paint d d amage
Small marks in the paint such as scratches
or stone damage should be touched up
immediately with paint before the metal
starts to rust.
However, should rust be found at any time
it must be removed thoroughly and then
the area treated first with an anti-corro-
sion primer and then the correct paint
applied.
The number of the original vehicle paint is
given on the data sticker which is inside
the boot in the spare wheel housing.
Windows
Remove snow and ice from windows and
mirrors with a plastic scraper only. To
avoid scratches due to dirt on the glass,
the scraper should only be pushed in one
direction and not moved to and fro.
Traces of rubber, oil, wax
cone can be removed with a window
cleaning solution or a silicone remover.

TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
The windows should also be cleaned on
the inside at regular intervals.
Do not dry the windows with the leather
used for the paintwork because traces of
paint cleaner will cause streaks to appear
on the glass, which will hinder vision.
To avoid damaging the heating element
wires in the rear window do not put stick-
ers over the wires on the inside.

The weatherstrips will remain flexible and
last longer if they are rubbed lightly with a
rubber protective compound from time to
time. This will also stop the weatherstrips
from freezing on in winter.
