Dry the ﬁnish with a soft, clean chamois or an all-cotton

towel to avoid surface scratches and water spotting.

High pressure car washes may cause water to enter the

vehicle. Avoid using high pressure washes closer

than 12 inches (30 cm) to the surface of the vehicle.

Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi (8 274 kPa)

can result in damage or removal of paint and decals.

Cleaning Exterior Lamps/Lenses

Use only lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a car

washing soap to clean exterior lamps and lenses. Follow

instructions under Washing Your Vehicle on page 5-116.

Finish Care

Occasional waxing or mild polishing of the vehicle by

hand may be necessary to remove residue from

the paint ﬁnish. Approved cleaning products can be

obtained from your dealer/retailer.

If the vehicle has a basecoat/clearcoat paint ﬁnish, the

clearcoat gives more depth and gloss to the colored

basecoat. Always use waxes and polishes that are

non-abrasive and made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint

ﬁnish.

Notice: Machine compounding or aggressive

polishing on a basecoat/clearcoat paint ﬁnish may

damage it. Use only non-abrasive waxes and

polishes that are made for a basecoat/clearcoat

paint ﬁnish on the vehicle.

Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other

salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird

droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc.,

can damage the vehicle’s ﬁnish if they remain on painted

surfaces. Wash the vehicle as soon as possible. If

necessary, use non-abrasive cleaners that are marked

safe for painted surfaces to remove foreign matter.

Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging, weather

and chemical fallout that can take their toll over a period

of years. To help keep the paint ﬁnish looking new, keep

the vehicle garaged or covered whenever possible.

Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts

Bright metal parts should be cleaned regularly to keep

their luster. Washing with water is all that is usually

needed. However, chrome polish may be used on

chrome or stainless steel trim, if necessary.

Use special care with aluminum trim. To avoid damaging

protective trim, never use auto or chrome polish, steam or

caustic soap to clean aluminum. A coating of wax, rubbed

to high polish, is recommended for all bright metal parts.
