Waxing your BYD F3
Polishing and waxing is
recommended to maintain the
original beauty of your BYD F3
polish.
Apply wax once a month or if the
vehicle surface does not resist water
well.
1. Always wash and dry the vehicle
before you begin waxing, even if
you are using a combined cleaner
and wax.
2. Use a good quality polisher and
wax. If the finish has become
extremely weathered, use a
car-cleaning polisher, and follow
the manufacturer’s instructions
and precautions. Be sure to polish
and wax the chrome trim as well
as the paint.
3. Wax the vehicle again when
water does not bead and remains
on the surface in large patches.
NOTICE
Always remove the plastic bumpers
if your vehicle is re-painted and
placed in a high heat paint waxing
booth. High temperatures could
damage the bumpers.
Cleaning the interior
CAUTION
Do not wash the vehicle floor with
water, or allow water to get onto
the floor when cleaning the interior
or exterior of your vehicle. Water
may get into audio components
above or under the floor carpet
(mat) and cause a malfunction; and
it may cause body corrosion.
Carpets
Use a good foam-type shampoo to
clean the carpets.
Begin by vacuuming thoroughly to
remove as much dirt as possible.
Several types of foam cleaners are
available; some are in an aerosol cans
and others are powers or liquids
which you mix with water to produce
foam. To shampoo the carpets, use a
sponge or brush applied with foam to
rub in overlapping circles.
Do not apply water. The best results
are obtained by keeping the carpet as
dry as possible. Read the shampoo
instructions and follow them strictly.
Seat belts
The seat belts may be cleaned with a
mild soap and water or with
lukewarm water.
Use a sponge or soft cloth. As you are
cleaning, check the bolts for
excessive wear, fraying, or cuts.
CAUTION
● Do not use dye or bleach on the
belts. It may weaken them.
● Do not use the belts until they
become dry.
