Detergents pollute water.
For this reason, the car
must be washed in an area
equipped for the collection and
purification of the liquids used
while washing.
To wash the car properly:
1
) Remove the aerial from the roof
to prevent damaging it when washing
the car in an automatic carwash.
2
) Wash the body using a low pres-
sure jet of water.
3
) Wipe a sponge with a slightly
soapy solution over the bodywork,
frequently rinsing the sponge.
4
) Rinse well with water and dry
with a jet of air or a chamois leather.
When drying the car, be careful to
get at those parts which are not so
easily seen e.g. the door frames, bon-
net and around the headlights where
water can most readily collect. You
should leave the car out in the open
so that any water remaining can
evaporate more easily.

Do not wash the car after it has been
parked in the sun or while the bonnet
is hot: it could take the shine off the
paint.
Outside plastic parts must be
cleaned following the usual car wash-
ing procedure.
Where possible avoid parking the
car under trees; the resinous sub-
stances that certain species of tree
shed dull the paintwork and increase
the possibility of rust forming.
IMPORTANT
Bird droppings must
be washed off immediately and with
great care as their acid is particularly
aggressive.
Windows
Use specific window cleaners to clean
the windows. Use very clean cloths to
avoid scratching the glass or damag-
ing its transparency.
IMPORTANT
To prevent damage
to the electric heater element, wipe
the inside of the heated rear window
gently in the same direction as the el-
ements.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter season,
carefully clean the engine compart-
ment. Have this done at a garage.
IMPORTANT
The engine com-
partment should be washed while the
engine is cold and with the ignition
key at
STOP
. After washing, make
sure that the various protections (e.g.
rubber boots and various guards)
have not be removed or damaged.
