VEHICLE CARE
WAXING :
Waxing and
recommended to maintain the
gloss and wet-look appearance of
your paint finish.
1. Use a good quality polish and
wax for your car.
2. Re-wax your car when the
water does not slip off the
surface and collects over the
surface in patches.
Further tips for the care of your
new car finish :
If your car is washed in an
automatic car wash, please
remember that the paint can be
scratched by type of brushes,
unfiltered washing water or the
washing process itself. Scratching
reduces paint durability and gloss,
especially on darker colours. It is
suggested to wash the car by hand
with cool and clean water using a
soft cloth or sponge. Please do not
use soap but a car shampoo
recommended by your dealer.
Please take
precautions :
1. Always keep your car parked in a
well ventilated shade. Exposure to
heat with entrapped moisture
promotes corrosion.
2. Avoid driving on gravel roads,
as the possibility of paint chip
off due to the impact of stones
is high. If you are driving on
68
polishing is
the following
freshly tarred road, check
immediately afterwards for any
stains and clean them.
3. External contamination in the
form of sap or industrial fall-out
may mar or develop spots on a
new finish. Hence avoid parking
your car near trees, which are
known to drop sap, or near
factories, which give out heavy
smoke.
4. The acid content in bird
droppings may damage the
newly painted finish and hence
any bird dropping must be
immediately washed off.
5. The paint finish is susceptible
to damage in case petrol, brake
fluid, liquid from car battery, oil,
antifreeze, transmission fluid or
windshield solvent spills onto
the painted surface. In case of
such a spillage immediately
rinse the affected area with
water. Avoid wiping the area as
far as possible, however if
wiping is required, ensure that
you wipe the area gently with
soft cotton cloth.
6. Avoid using sharp objects to
scrap off tar or mud from a
painted surface as it may
develop scratches or may
develop scratches or damage
the paint finish.
