248 Self-help, vehicle care
If you wash your vehicle by hand, make
sure that the insides of the wings are also
thoroughly rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened doors
and flaps as well as the areas they cover.
Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for paint and window
surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows
will impair vision.
Observe national regulations.
Waxing
Wax your vehicle regularly, in particular
after it has been washed using Car
Shampoo and at the latest when water no
longer forms beads on the paintwork,
otherwise the paintwork will dry out.
Also wax edges and folds on opened doors
and flaps as well as the areas they cover.

Polishing
Polishing is necessary only if the paint has
become dull or if solid deposits have
become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a
protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts should not be treated
with wax and polish.
Use Metallic Paintwork Wax on vehicles
with a metallic-effect paint finish.
Sunroof 3
Never clean with solvents or abrasives,
fuels, aggressive agents (e.g. paintwork
cleaner, solutions containing acetone,
etc.), acidic or strongly alkaline agents or
scourers.
No stickers may be applied to the sunroof.
Wheels
Use a pH-neutral wheel cleaning agent to
clean the wheels.
Wheels are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body. For alloy
wheels we recommend the use of Alloy
Wheel Preserver.
Paintwork damage
Repair minor damage such as stone
impacts, scratches etc. with the touch-up
stick or spray and touch-up paint before
rust can form. If rust has already formed,
have cause thereof remedied by a
workshop. Please also pay attention to the
surfaces and edges facing the road, where
rust can develop unnoticed over long
periods.
