If the vehicle is dirty, wash it as soon as possible.

Soak and wash off dead insects before washing.

Water generously.

Use a soft sponge or a very soft scrub brush with a hose attached.

Do not spray heavily on the varnish coating, but only water and soften the dirt.

Rinse off the softened dirt with plenty of water from top to bottom.

Rinse the sponge frequently.

Use clean leather for drying.

If used, use only good, fat-free detergents. Rinse surfaces thoroughly with clean water to remove any detergent residue.

To protect the paintwork, a preservative additive can be added to the water.

If you use detergents regularly, you need to use preservatives more often.

Never wash or dry your car in the sun, otherwise water stains will inevitably appear on the paintwork.

Street salt is especially dangerous for the internal folds, flanges and joints of doors and hoods. Therefore, these areas should be thoroughly cleaned with a sponge at each wash, as well as after washing in an automatic car wash, and then rinsed and wiped with leather.

Note: After washing the car, the braking effect is reduced due to dampness. Therefore, disc brakes should be dried by short braking sessions.


Washing alone does not always remove tar splashes, oil stains, insects and other contaminants. Such contaminants must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise they may cause damage to the paintwork. After removal, the varnish in the appropriate places must be treated with a preservative.
