Cleaning the vehicle
Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on the
painted surfaces. Once softened, sponge off mud and dirt using a car body sponge
soaked in a car body shampoo and water solution (2-4% of car shampoo in water).
Then rinse with abundant water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the engine exterior,
use petrol, a brush and clean cloths. Petrol can damage paintwork. Remember that
any polishing with silicone wax must always be preceded by washing.
CAUTION
DETERGENTS CAN POLLUTE WATER. THE VEHICLE MUST BE WASHED AT A
