Before washing the car, clean the drainage holes in the doors and sills (see subsection 3.42.).
Use clean water or water with car shampoo to wash your car.
Attention! Do not wipe dust and dirt from the body with a dry cloth - you can scratch the paintwork.
Attention! Do not use gasoline, kerosene, soda and sea water for washing in order to avoid damage to the paintwork, rubber and plastic parts of the body.
Attention! You can’t wash the body in frosty weather and drive out into the cold in a car with a wet body: when water freezes, microcracks can form on the paint surface.
Attention! Do not use petrol or thinner to clean plastic parts.
1. We recommend washing the body in the shade, as if the paintwork dries quickly in direct sunlight, light spots will remain on the body. If possible, wash the bodywork with a hose and a soft sponge.
2. Thoroughly wash the joints of the body parts and welds, as well as the rolling points of the doors and hood.
3. When washing the engine compartment, water should not get on the electrical equipment. We recommend using special engine cleaners. After washing, blow or wipe dry electrical components.
4. Glasses are best washed with a soft cloth dampened with water and windshield washer fluid.
5. We recommend using a vacuum cleaner to clean the upholstery and seats. Grease stains from the upholstery can be removed with soapy water or special interior cleaners.
6. Wash the wheel arches either with a high-pressure water jet or with a hair brush. Wash the bottom with a bristle brush at least once a year, preferably before the start of winter operation, before restoring the anti-corrosion coating. Periodically wash the underbody and wheel arches in winter to clean them of salt.
