Waxing
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the adherence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after washing the vehicle, or at least once every three months to assist displacing of water. Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight. You should wax after the surfaces have cooled.
CAUTION
(1) Waxes containing high abrasive compounds should not be used. Such waxes
remove rust and stain effectively from the paintwork but they are harmful to the
lustre of the painted surface. Further, they are harmful to glossy surfaces such
as grille, garnish, mouldings, etc.
(2) Do not use petrol or paint thinners to
remove road tar or other contamination to the painted surface.
(3) Do not apply
wax on the areas having black mat coating as it can cause uneven discolouration,
patches, blurs, etc. If stained with wax, immediately wipe off with a piece of soft
cloth and warm water.
(4) On vehicles with the sunroof, be careful when waxing
the area around the sunroof opening, not to put any wax on the weatherstrip (black
rubber). If stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal
with the sunroof.
