Note: DO NOT direct the pressure washer
nozzle directly toward the high voltage
charging point or high voltage battery
connections on the underside of the
vehicle.
IMPORTANT
• Please pay attention to the operating
instructions of high pressure cleaner.
• High pressure cleaners should not be
closely directed at soft parts of the
vehicle.
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. More 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.
Maintenance
Polishing the Paintwork
DO NOT use car polish containing
coarse abrasives – these will remove
the paint film and damage the gloss
finish.
Occasionally treat the paint surface with
an approved polish containing the following
properties:
• Very mild abrasives to remove surface
contamination without removing or
damaging the paint.
• Filling compounds that will fill scratches
and reduce their visibility.
• Wax to provide a protective coating
between the paint and the elements.
Note: If possible, avoid applying polish or
wax products to window glass and rubber
seals.
