BMW C650GT User Manual

At the same time, you should
remove particularly aggressive
materials immediately; otherwise
changes in the paint and discol-
oration can occur. These include
spilled fuel, oil, grease and brake
fluid as well as bird droppings.
It is advisable to use BMW Car
Polish or BMW Paint Cleaner in
this case.
Contamination on the paint fin-
ish is particularly easy to see
after the motorcycle has been
washed. Remove this type of
soiling with cleaning naphtha or
spirit on a clean cloth or cotton
ball. BMW Motorrad recom-
mends using BMW tar remover
for removing tar spots. Then add
a protective wax coating to the
paint at these locations.

Completely refuel Maxi

Spray the brake lever, main
stand and side stand mounts

Protect metal and chrome-
plated parts with an acid-free
grease (Vaseline).
Park the Maxi-Scooter in a dry
space, so that both wheels are
unloaded.
Paint preservation
BMW Motorrad recommends
applying BMW car wax or prod-
ucts containing carnauba wax or
synthetic wax to preserve your
paintwork.
When water fails to form beads
on the paint surface this indicates
it is time to apply wax.
