towel only. Take special care when cleaning the windows to use lots<br />

of water to loosen and rinse away bugs and dirt and use with only a<br />

soft cotton towel, or otherwise you will create scrat<strong>ch</strong>es. If cleaned<br />

regularly, you may not need to use any special cleaning products. If<br />

for any reason special cleaning products need to be used, please<br />

contact your dealer for advice. For polishing you can use almost any<br />

car polish but be sure that no silicone is used in that product.<br />
