Special car washing detergents or liquid dishwashing detergent can be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent the car

should be well rinsed with clean water.

WARNING!

• When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brake several times in order to remove any moisture from the brake linings.

• Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

NOTE: When washing the car, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and sills. Bumpers: Wash the bumpers with the same cleaning agent used on the rest of the car. Never clean the bumpers with

gasoline or paint thinner. Difficultspots can be removed with denatured alcohol. To avoid scratches, do not dry the bumpers with paper.

* Pay special attention to the drain holes near the base of the windshield in the cowl under the rear edge of the hood.

Automatic washing - simple and quick

An automatic wash is a simple and quick way to clean your car, but it is worth remembering that it may not be as thorough as when you yourself go over the car with sponge and water. Keeping the underbody clean is

most important, especially in the winter. Some automatic washers do not have facilities for washing the underbody.

Before driving into an automatic wash, make sure that the side view mirrors, auxiliary lamps, etc., are secure, otherwise there is risk of the machine dislodging them. You should also lower the antenna (sedans).

We do NOT recommend washing your car in an automatic wash during the first six months (because the paint will not have hardened sufficiently).
