Caring for 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
