Cleaning your VW
The paint on your VW is very durable,
and so is the upholstery. But a car can
get a lot of abuse from industnal fumes
and corrosive road salt to half-eaten
lollipops and muddy dog feet.
A well-cared-for VW can look like now 10
years later It all depends on the owner
and the amount of care he is willing to
give to his car.
Here are a few hints on how to keep your
VW looking young and beautiful. We
have also compiled a list of cleaning
products. They are available at any VW
Oealer
Whenever using VW-recommended pro¬
ducts or other cleaning agents, follow
the directions on the containers. Be
aware of warning or caution iabels.
Washing your VW
The longer the dirt is left on the paint, the
greater the risk of damaging the glossy
finish, either by scratching if the dirt is
rubbed into the paint, or simply by the
chemical effect dirt particles have on the
paint surface.
Therefore dirt should be washed off as
soon as possible. NEVER WASH IN
DIRECT SUNLIGHT

move all loose dirt before applying the
lukewarm soap/water solution.

water spots
Waxing
Waxing is not really needed when you
have washed your car with VWs Car
Wash and Wax. It you do not use a car
wash liquid with wax, apply Paint Preser¬
vative and Wax to preserve the natural
shine of the car
To obtain a long lasting wax finish apply
hard wax. such as VW's Classic Car Wax,
eight to ten weeks after buying the car.
Wax again when water remains on the
surface in large patches instead of
forming beads and rolling off.
Polishing
Use a polish such as VW's Paint Polish
later in the car's life when the paint
appears dull and loses its shine. Do not
polish the new car.
Always apply wax after polishing.
