1. Rinse off loose dirt with a hose.
Remove any mud or road salt
from the underside of the vehicle
or in the wheel wells.
2. Wash with a mild car-washing
soap, mixed according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, use a
soft cotton mitt, and keep it wet
by dipping it frequently onto the
wash water. Do not rub hard. Let
the soap and water remove the
dirt.

cause streaks. You may need to
rinse each section right after you
wash it in hot weather.

vehicle using a clean soft cotton
towel. Do not rub or press hard.
You might scratch the paint.

Aluminum wheels: use only a mild
soap or neutral detergent.

cleaners that are marked safe for
painted surfaces.

Automatic washing station
Your vehicle can be washed in
automatic washing station. But be
attentive that some type of brushes,
unfiltered rinsing water, or custom
rinsing procedure would scrape the
paint.
If scraped, the durability and polish
of paint will be reduced. When
washing vehicles, especially fuscous
ones, workers in washing station will
tell you the most suitable washing
procedure for the sake of protecting
paint.

plastic wheel ornament. It may fly
