196 Self-help, Vehicle Care

Waxing

Wax your vehicle regularly, in particular

after it ha s been washed using shampoo

and at the latest when water no longer

forms beads on the paintwork, otherwise

the paintwork will dry out.

Also wax e dge s and folds on opene d doors

and flaps as well as the areas they cover.

Polishing

Polishing is necessary only if the paint has

become dull or if solid deposits have

become attached to it.

Paintwork polish w ith silicone forms a

protective film, making waxing

unnecessary.

Plastic b ody parts such as the roof module

of the panoramic roof must not be treated

with preservation and polishing agents.

Use Metallic Paintwork Wax on vehicles

with a metallic-effect paint finish.

Pan oramic roof 3

Never clean with solvents or abrasive

agents, fuels, aggressive media (e.g. paint

cleane r, a cetone-containing solutions etc.),

acidic or highly alkaline media or abrasive

panoramic roof, and do not use plastic

protector sleeves.

Paintwork dam age

Immediately rectify minor paintwork

damage suc h as stone chips, scratche s,

etc. using a touch-up stick or Touch-Up /

Aerosol Paint be fore rust ha s a chance to

form. If rust has already formed, have the

cause rectified by a workshop. Note also

the surfaces and edges facing the road on

which rust may develop for a long period of

time w ithout being noticed.

Exte rio r li gh ts

Headlight and other protective light covers
