BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
You should
• Wash your car frequently with
cleaning products recommended
by us (never use abrasive
products) and be sure to rinse the
wheel arches and underneath the
body to eliminate:
- spots of tree resin and industrial
grime,
- bird droppings, which contain
chemicals that rapidly
discolour paintwork and may
even cause the paint to peel off;
The vehicle must be washed
immediately to remove these
marks since it is impossible to
remove them by polishing.
- salt deposited in the wheel
arches and the underside of the
body after driving in areas
where the roads are chemically
treated,
- mud in the wheel arches and the
underside of the body which
forms damp patches.
• Observe the vehicle stopping
distances when driving on
gravelled surfaces to prevent
paint damage.
• Repair or have repaired quickly
patches where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading.
• Remember to visit the body shop
periodically in order to maintain
your RENAULT anti-corrosion
warranty. Refer to the warranty
and servicing booklet.
• Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not
wash your vehicle on a public
highway).
• Before entering a revolving brush
type car wash, check that external
accessories, additional lights,
door mirrors, etc. are properly
secured and secure the
windscreen wiper arms and radio
aerial with adhesive tape.
Remove the car phone aerial if
your vehicle is fitted with this
equipment.
• Spray mechanical components
with products approved by
RENAULT's Technical
Department to protect them after
they have been cleaned.
We have selected special
products to care for your vehicle
and you can obtain these from
RENAULT accessory outlets.
