NOTE
• Mazda is not responsible for
scratches caused by automatic
car washes or improper
washing.

on vehicles with darker paint
finishes.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint finish:
• Rinse off any dirt or other foreign
matter using lukewarm or cold
water before washing.
Form No. 8P95-EA-00G
• Use plenty of lukewarm or cold
water and a soft cloth when
washing the vehicle. Do not use a
nylon cloth.
• Rub gently when washing or drying
the vehicle.
• Take your vehicle only to a car
wash that keeps its brushes well
maintained.

that contain abrasives.
Appearance Care
! CAUTION
• Don't use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or
caustic agents on chrome-plated
or anodized aluminum parts.
This may damage the protective
coating; also, cleaners and
detergents may discolor or
deteriorate the paint.
