Vehicle care
Obtain advice from a Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer regarding cleaning materials that
have been tested and recommended by
Vauxhall.
When caring for your vehicle, observe all
national environmental regulations,
particularly when washing it.
Regular, thorough care helps to improve
the appearance of your vehicle and
maintain its value over the years. It is also
prerequisite for warranty claims for any
paint or corrosion damage. The following
pages contain tips for vehicle care which, if
used properly, will help combat the
unavoidable, damaging effects of the
environment.
