place the key out of range (at least 9.8 feet
(3 meters) or greater distance) to ensure that
the doors do not open.
NOTE: Do not wash the vehicle in direct
sunlight or if it is hot to the touch, this
may cause water marks and streaks.
Do not wash the engine with hose pipe
or pressure washer.
Do not use household detergents, these
products will discolor painted surfaces
and remove protective wax finishes.
1. Pre-rinse the body thoroughly with a
hose pipe held at a shallow angle to
loosen any dirt and wet the paintwork
ready for washing, avoiding direct spray
on engine cover vents.
2. Prepare a bucket of warm water and a
good quality car shampoo. Refer to the
shampoo manufacturer!s instructions
for dilution ratios.
3. Working from the top of the vehicle
down, wash the vehicle, ideally using a
lambswool wash mitt rather than a
sponge, use generous quantities of
water paying particular attention to
areas where dirt can accumulate. Use
one wash mitt for the top of the vehicle
(roof, luggage compartment lid and
areas above the wheel arch line) and a
separate mitt for areas below the wheel
arch line.
NOTE: Do not clean the wheels with
these wash mitts.
NOTE: Do not allow the shampoo to dry,
it will leave streaks on the paint work.
4. Tar spots and stubborn grease marks
can be removed using white spirit or
denatured alcohol. After cleaning,
immediately wash the area with soapy
water to remove all traces of spirit or
alcohol.
5. Once the vehicle is clean, work from the
top of the vehicle down and rinse the
vehicle thoroughly using a hose pipe
held at a shallow angle, avoiding direct
spray on engine cover vents.
6. Dry the vehicle using a chamois leather
or drying towel.
