soap solution
or cleaning clay to remove any
light dirt immediately, e.g.deposits, insect resi-
due, or cosmetics.
Only use touch-up pen to repair slightly damaged

correspondingly qualified workshop and have the
paint damage repaired. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership.
Note:
– Overflowing fuel or service fluids: remove it
with clean water immediately.
– Rust film: Remove sediment with rust film
scavenger. Do not remove sediment by polish-
ing! Then paint the vehicle with hard wax. If
the fault persists, go to a correspondingly
qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends
using a Volkswagen dealership.

Neutral soap solution: Add up to two tablespoons of neutral soap diluted in one litre of water.
– Rust: Should be handled by qualified work-
shop.
– When water no longer clearly forms small
drops: apply the hard wax at least twice a year.
– The wax/paint lost its shine: clean the dirt and
dust of the vehicle with appropriate polish
product. If the polish does not contain wax
material, apply the vehicle with hard wax.
Plenum chamber, engine compartment:
Remove leaves and other loose objects with a
vacuum cleaner or by hand
ways have cleaning of the engine compartment
