14.15 Appearance Care and Protection
14.15.1 Washing the Exterior
• Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water and a neutral pH soap
• Never use strong household detergents or soap, such as dish washing or laundry
liquid. These products can discolor and spot painted surfaces
• Never wash a vehicle that is ‘hot to the touch’ or during exposure to strong, direct
sunlight
• Always use a clean sponge or car wash mitt with plenty of water for best results
• Dry the vehicle with a chamois or soft terry cloth towel in order to eliminate water
spotting
• It is especially important to wash the vehicle regularly during the winter months,
as dirt and road salt are difficult to remove and cause damage to the vehicle
• Immediately remove items such as gasoline, diesel fuel, bird droppings and insect
deposits; they can cause damage to the vehicle's paint work and trim over time
14.15.2 Exterior Chrome
• Wash the vehicle first, using cool or lukewarm water and a neutral pH shampoo
