contain alcohol, solvents or ab-
rasives to clean plastic parts.
Even insect-remover pads or
cleaning pads with hard surfaces
can produce scratches.
Body panels
Clean the trim panels with water
and BMW plastic care emulsion.
Windscreens and lenses
made of plastic
Clean off dirt and insects with a
soft sponge and plenty of water.
Soften stubborn dirt and
insects by covering the af-
fected areas with a wet cloth.
Clean with water and
sponge only.
Do not use any chemical
cleaning agents.
Chrome
Use plenty of water and BMW
shampoo to clean chrome, par-
ticularly if it has been exposed to
road salt. Use chrome polish for
additional treatment.
Radiator
Clean the radiator regularly to
prevent overheating of the en-
gine due to inadequate cooling.
For example, use a garden hose
with low water pressure.
Cooling fins can be bent
easily.
Take care not to bend the fins
when cleaning the radiator.
Rubber
Treat rubber components with
water or BMW rubber-care
products.
Using silicone sprays for
the care of rubber seals can
cause damage.
Do not use silicone sprays or
care products that contain
silicon.
Paint care
Washing the vehicle regularly will
help counteract the long-term
effects of substances that can
damage the paint, especially if
your vehicle is ridden in areas
with high air pollution or natural
sources of foreign matter, for ex-
ample tree resin or pollen.
Remove particularly aggressive
substances immediately, how-
ever, as otherwise the paint can
be affected or become discol-
oured. Substances of this nature
include spilt fuel, oil, grease,
brake fluid and bird droppings.
We recommend BMW vehicle
polish or BMW paint cleaner for
this purpose.
Foreign matter on the paintwork
is particularly easy to see after
the vehicle has been washed.
