Appearance Care

Exterior Care

Washing
The paintwork of the vehicle is
exposed to environmental
influences. Wash and wax regularly.
When using automatic vehicle
washes, select a programme that
includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be
cleaned off immediately, as they
contain aggressive constituents
which can cause paint damage.
Failure to do so may result in
permanent damage, particularly in
hot weather conditions.
Road bloom is a gradual build up of
road and environmental grime. This
should be removed with a paint
cleaner once a year, in addition to
normal washing.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with
the vehicle wash manufacturer's
instructions. Never use an automatic
wash that requires anything
touching the paint (other than
water). The wipers must be
switched off. Remove antenna and
external accessories such as roof
racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet as well as the
areas they cover.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a Holden Dealer.
Caution
Do not clean the engine
compartment with a steam-jet or
high-pressure jet cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse and chamois off
the vehicle. Rinse chamois
frequently. Use separate chamois
