Washing Vehicle Manually
Before washing the vehicle, park it in the
shade, and wait for the vehicle to cool
down sufficiently.
1. Hose off loose dirt, including all muds
or road salts at the bottom of the
vehicle and on wheel pits.
2. Wash the vehicle with neutral agents,
the mixing of which should be carried
out according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Soak a soft cloth with
cleaning solution and gently wipe it
down along the direction of the water
flow. Do not wipe in a circular motion
or horizontally.
3. Rinse well: Dried washing agent forms
markings. After washing the vehicle in
hot weather, rinse all parts properly.
4. Dry the vehicle with a clean soft towel
to prevent stay water marks. In order
to prevent scratching, do not rub or
apply excessive force on the paint.
REMINDER
Do not use any alkaline washing
●
powder, soapy water, detergents,
de-waxing detergents or volatile

REMINDER
substance (gasoline, kerosene, or
solvent).
When cleaning the combination
●
lights, do not wipe their surface
with chemical solvents such
as gasoline, alcohol, lacquer
thinner, thinner and carbon
tetrachloride. Doing so will cause
the combination light casings to
crack.
It is recommended that vehicles
●
travelling in coastal or heavily
polluted areas be washed once a
day.
Do not use blades or gasoline to
●
remove hard dirt from the vehicle
body. The plastic wheel trim is
easily damaged by organic matter.
If any organic matter splashes on
the vehicle trim, remove it with
water and check whether the trim
is damaged. Please replace any
seriously damaged plastic wheel
trim in time. Otherwise, the trim
may fall from the wheel during
vehicle movement and cause an
accident.
Do not use abrasive cleaning
●
agents to scrub the bumper.
Clean polished metal parts with
●
carbon cleaner and wax them
regularly for protection.
Automatic Vehicle Washing
When choosing an automated vehicle
wash service, be aware of certain types
of brushes, unfiltered rinsing water, or
machine-specific rinsing procedures that
may scratch the paint and affect its gloss
and durability, especially darker colours.
Before washing the vehicle, it is best to
consult the staff of the car wash service
provider to understand which washing
