Plastic Parts; Rubber Seals; Chrome Parts; Decorative Films - Skoda Citigo Owner's Manual

The vehicle must be treated with a high-quality hard wax polish at the latest,
when no more drops form on the clean paintwork.
A new layer of a high-quality hard wax polish can be applied to the clean body-
work after it has dried thoroughly.
Even if you use a wax preserver regularly we still recommend that you treat the
paintwork of the vehicle at least twice a year with hard wax.
Polishing
Polishing is necessary if the vehicle's paintwork has become unattractive and if it
is no longer possible to achieve a gloss with wax preservatives.
If the polish does not contain any preserving elements, the paint must be treated
with a preservative afterwards.
CAUTION
Never apply wax to the windows.
■
Mat painted or plastic parts must not be treated with polishing products or hard
■
waxes.
Do not polish the paintwork in a dusty environment - risk of paint scratches.
■
Do not apply any paint care products to door seals or window guides.
■
If possible, do not apply any paint care products to parts of the bodywork that
■
come into contact with door seals or window guides.

Rubber seals

All door seals and window guides are factory-treated with a colourless matt var-
nish layer to prevent the freezing of painted body parts and to protect against
driving noise.
Do not treat the door seals and window guides with any products.
CAUTION
Applying additional treatments to the seals can corrode the protective coating,
and driving noise may occur.

Chrome parts


dry cloth.

product.
