Paint

The outside finish should be washed frequently. Never wipe the painted surface with a dry cloth. Dusting the finish when it is dry tends to rub the dust and dirt into the baked enamel, and leaves a sandpaper effect on the surface. To keep the finish bright and attractive, wash the vehicle whenever it is dirty.

Protect the exterior with frequent washing, including underside areas. Use One-Step Wash and Wax Concentrate D6AZ-19523-AA (ESR-M14P12-A), or equivalent, diluted to proper concentration, followed by a rinse with clear, cold water. Do not wash vehicle with hot water, in direct sunlight, or while sheet metal is hot.

Polish paint and bright metal with Custom Silicone Gloss Polish B7AZ-19530-AA (ESR-M11B26-A), Custom Paste Wax B4AZ-19534-AA (ESR-M11B23-A), Custom Cream Wax E4AZ-19534-AA (ESR-M11B26-A) or equivalent to remove harmful deposits and provide added protection to body surfaces, body hardware, and chrome and aluminum parts. Touch up nicks and scratches with proper paint.

 CAUTION: Do not use steel wool, abrasive-type cleaner, gasoline or strong detergents containing highly alkaline or caustic agents on chrome-plated materials, aluminum wheels, headlamps, bumpers or anodized aluminum parts as damage to the protective coating and discoloration or paint deterioration may occur.

NOTE: Vehicles subjected to airborne pollen, insect droppings, bird droppings and other organic matter, especially vehicles subjected to this matter that are exposed to high temperatures and sunshine, should be washed as often as necessary to keep them free of this organic matter. Similar precautions should be taken where a vehicle may be exposed to chemical industrial fallout. Failure to do so may result in damage to the exterior surfaces.
