Waxing
Wax protects the vehicle's point.
~
Use a man ually applied car wax occasionally
to protect the paint.
A good wax coating protects the vehicle paint
to a large extent against the environmental
factors listed under
c::> page 162, Washing
and
even against slight scratches .
You can use a liquid car wax to protect your
paint as soon as one week after your vehicle
has been delivered .
Even if you regularly use a waxing process in
automatic car washes, we recommend t hat
you manually apply a coat of wax to give the
paint extra protection, particularly if water no
longer beads on the clean paint.
Protect plastic body parts with car wax in the
same way as the vehicle body.
During wa rm weat her dead insect s tend to
collect on the front bumper and on the for-
ward area of the hood. They are much easier
to remove from paint that is waxed
often .

removed w ith a pH-balanced cleaning agent
(do not use a chrome cleaner). Audi dealers
carry cleaning products w hich have been test-

To avoid corrosion on the exter ior trim strips,
only a pH-ba lanced solution should be used
