Cleaning
PAINT CHIP REPAIR
Paint damage from road chippings
or minor scratches can be repaired
using aerosol paint spray or
touch-up paint. The Ford Accessory
range is recommended. Observe the
application instruction on each
product.
To retain vehicle warranty
on paintwork, remove
apparently harmless looking but
often aggressive particles from
the paintwork immediately - e.g.
bird droppings, tree resins, insect
remains, tar spots, road salt and
industrial fall-out.

BODY PAINTWORK
PRESERVATION
Wax the body paintwork of your
vehicle once or twice a year. This
will help retain the glossy paintwork
finish and water droplets will run
off more easily.
When polishing your vehicle
ensure that polish does not
come into contact with the plastic
surfaces as it may prove difficult
to remove.
Do not polish the vehicle in strong
sunshine.
Do not apply polish to front or rear
screen, as this may result in poor or
noisy wiper action.
