MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE — Car Care
CAR CARE :
The car is subjected to many external influences such as climate,
road conditions, industrial pollution and proximity to the sea.
These conditions demand regular care of the car body. Dirt,
insects, bird droppings, oil, grease, fuel and stone chippings
should be removed as soon as possible.
Washing :
Do not wash the car in direct sunlight, wash in shade. Spray the
car thoroughly with a cold water jet (car on a washing pit or
hoist). Mix car shampoo in the wash water. No solvent (fuel,
thinners) need be used.
NOTICE
Avoid wiping of painted surface in dry condition as it may
leave scratches on the painted surface.
Use a soft bristle brush, sponge or soft cloth and rinse it
frequently while washing. When you have washed the whole
exterior, dry it with a chamois or soft cloth. After drying the car,
inspect it for chips and scratches that could allow corrosion to
start. Apply touch up paint where necessary.
Polishes :
Polishes and cleaners can restore shine to the painted surface
that has oxidised and become dull. They normally contain mild
abrasives and solvents that remove the top layer of the finish

coat. Polish your car if the finish does not regain its original
shine after using wax.
Cleaning of Carpets :
Vacuum clean the carpet regularly to remove dirt. Dirt will make
the carpet wear out faster. Periodically shampoo the carpet to
keep it looking new.
Use carpet cleaners (preferably foam type). Follow the
instructions that come with the cleaner, applying it with a
sponge or soft brush. Keep the carpeting as dry as possible by
not adding water to the foam.
