Washing Your Vehicle

• Avoid automatic washes, as the soap is often too harsh
• Wash once a week
• Do not wash in direct sunlight
• Begin washing by hosing your car with cold water
• Use a gentle detergent in warm water
• Soak bird droppings with a wet sponge before washing off – 110 grams of dissolved baking soda in 1 litre of water will remove stubborn marks
• Wash a small section at a time and rinse with cold water. Do not allow liquid to dry before washing off that section
• Dry with a good quality chamois

Please be aware of any water restrictions in your area as you may need to adapt some of the tips as listed above.

• Remove grease, oil and tar (if it’s fresh) with a little kerosene or turpentine
• As a precaution against staining, wash and polish the area as soon as possible after removing the stain
• Wash petrol off immediately with clean water
• Never use petrol to clean painted or plastic surfaces
• Use a rubbing or cutting compound sparingly and only when the gloss of the paint has reduced

• The use of a polymer glaze approximately every 3 months will help protect your paintwork
• Always wash your car before polishing
