CLEANING THE VEHICLE
Cleaning the exterior
Proper care of the vehicle on the part of
the owner is essential for a long life of the
vehicle.
Below is a list of the main precautions to
be taken.
•
Certain parts of the vehicle should not
be left wet or dirty for long periods
of time: in particular, the passenger
and luggage compartment floors must
always be kept clean and dry. The
draining holes under the doors should
be kept unclogged to allow any water
to drain.
•
The underbody and the lower surfaces
of the vehicle should be cleaned
regularly, and more frequently (at
least once a week) if the vehicle is used
on salty or rough roads. The vehicle
should be cleaned thoroughly and
carefully: cleaning that only wets the
vehicle, without removing dirt or mud
completely can prove damaging to the
body.
•
The vehicle must be washed regularly
with adequate equipment. Do not use
very hot water or steam to clean the
paintwork and the lower surfaces.
It is advisable to soften any dirt first,
then remove it with a jet of water at
room temperature.
•
Do not wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or when the bodywork is still
warm:
be careful that the jet of water does
not hit the paintwork too hard;
wash the vehicle with a sponge and a
solution of mild soap and water;
rinse the vehicle again with a jet
of water and dry it with a piece of
chamois leather.
