Maintenance and Care Appearance Care Exterior Care The paintwork on your Mazda represents the latest technical developments in composition and methods of application. Environmental hazards, however, can harm the paint's protective properties, if proper care is not taken. Here are some examples of possible damage, with tips on how to prevent them. Etching Caused by Acid Rain or Industrial Fallout Damage Caused by Bird Dropping, Insects, or Tree Sap Occurrence Bird droppings contain acids.
Maintenance and Care Appearance Care Water Marks Occurrence Rain, fog, dew, and even tap water can contain harmful minerals such as salt and lime. If moisture containing these minerals settles on the vehicle and evaporates, the minerals will concentrate and harden to form white rings. The rings can damage your vehicle's finish. Prevention It is necessary to wash and wax your vehicle to preserve its finish according to the instructions in this section.
Maintenance and Care Appearance Care Maintaining the Finish Washing CAUTION When the wiper lever is in the position and the ignition is switched ON, the wipers may move automatically in the following cases: If the windshield above the rain sensor is touched or wiped with a cloth. If the windshield is struck with a hand or other object from either outside or inside the vehicle.
Maintenance and Care Appearance Care To minimize scratches on the vehicle's paint finish: Rinse off any dirt or other foreign matter using lukewarm or cold water before washing. Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water and a soft cloth when washing the vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth. Rub gently when washing or drying the vehicle. Take your vehicle only to a car wash that keeps its brushes well maintained. Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax that contain abrasives.
Maintenance and Care Appearance Care Repairing Damage to the Finish Deep scratches or chips on the finish should be repaired promptly. Exposed metal quickly rusts and can lead to major repairs. CAUTION If your Mazda is damaged and needs metal parts repaired or replaced, make sure the body shop applies anticorrosion materials to all parts, both repaired and new. This will prevent them from rusting. Bright-Metal Maintenance Use tar remover to remove road tar and insects.
