Tips
Do not install plastic decorative
pieces which have been seriously
damaged on wheels, or they may
drop off the wheel while driving and
thus lead to an accident.
Aluminum wheel: Wash it only with
neutral soap water or neutral
detergent.
Plastic bumper: due to the relative soft
frontage, please take special care
when cleaning the bumper. Do not
scrub with abrasive detergents in
order to prevent scratching the
bumper.
Asphalt from the road: wash it using
turpentine or detergent marked as
non-harmful to painted surfaces.
WARNING
Do not use organic substances
(petrol, kerosene, volatile oil, or
strong solvents) which may be toxic
or cause damage.
5-4 Self-maintenance
BYD AUTO S6 Owner's Manual
Auto Car Washing
You can wash your car at an automatic
car wash station. Note however that
some types of brushes, unfiltered water,
and the wash process adopted by the
machine may damage the painted
surface. Damage to the painted surface
will reduce its duration and gloss,
particularly for dark coloured cars.
Usually the staff from car wash will tell
you which washing process is suitable
for your car.
Waxing
Polishing and waxing is
recommended to maintain the original
beauty of the vehicle. Apply the wax
once a month or if the vehicle surface
does not resist water well.
a. Before waxing, please wash and
dry the vehicle body even if you use
the mixture of detergent and wax.
b. Please use quality polish and car
wax. When the polishing coat has
been weathered seriously, please
use the cleaning polish which is
separated from the car wax. Follow
the instructions and precautions
from the manufacturer. The chrome
plated surface also needs polishing
and waxing.
c. Wax the vehicle again when water
does not bead and remains on the
surface in large patches.
WARNING
When the car is placed in a
workshop with high temperatures
for repainting, please remove the
plastic bumper from the car, or the
heat may damage the bumper.
