Operation Manual

Rules for cleaning the exterior:
• Rinse the vehicle with a light stream of water.
• Wipe the vehicle down with a soft sponge and
typical shampoo solution.
Rinse the sponge often in the process.
• Afterwards, rinse with a great deal of water.
• Dry the vehicle with a suede cloth.
• Allow the vehicle to stand out in the open after
washing to let it dry.
Dry spotlight and lamp frames thor-
oughly, since water can build up in
these areas very easily.
Rules for waxing the surfaces:
• Treat the paint surfaces periodically with wax.
Note the guidelines for use from the wax
manufacturer. We recommend products by
such manufacturers as VALMA, Turtle, Flash
and System.
Rules for polishing surfaces:
• In exceptional cases, treat damaged paint sur
faces with polish. We recommend paste pol-
ishes free of solvents.
Do not polish too often since polishing
removes the top layer of paint. Fre-
quent polishing causes more damage
than it remedies.
Rules for treating tar and resin stains:
• Remove residues from tar and resin as well as
other organic stains with petroleum ether or
spirit.
Do not use aggressive solvents such
as products containing esters or
ketone.
Rules for damage repair:
• All damage should be repaired immediately
to avoid further damage from corrosion. Con
