Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to
environmental influences, e.g. continuous
changes in weather conditions, industrial
waste gases and dust or thawing salts, so
wash and wax your v ehicle regularly. When
using automatic car washes, select a
programme which includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen
and the like should be cleaned off
immediately, as they contain aggressive
constituents which can cause paint
damage.
If using a car wash, comply with the
pertinent instructions of the car wash
manufacturer. The windscreen w iper and
rear window wiper must be switched off
see page 14. Remove detachable rod
antenna by unscrewing it.
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
If you wash your vehicle by hand, make
sure that the insides of the wings are also
thoroughly rinsed out. Do not use
household dishwashing liquid to avoid
removing wax from the paintwork.
Clean edges and folds on opened doors
and flaps as well as the areas they cover.
Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for paint and window
surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows
will impair vision.
Also wash aluminium trim parts, avoiding
the use of abrasive materials such as
automotive or chrome polish, steam or
caustic soap. Washing with water is
normally sufficient.
Observe national regulations.
Waxing
Wax your vehicle regularly, in particular
after it has been washed using Car
Shampoo and at the latest when water no
longer forms beads on the paintwork,
otherwise the paintwork will dry out.
Also wax aluminium trim parts, edges and
folds on opened doors and flaps as well a s
the areas they cover.
Poli s hing
Polishing is necessary only if the paint
has become dull or if solid deposits have
become attached to it.
Pa in t wo r k po lis h wit h s ili c on e f o rm s
a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts should not be treated
with wax and polish.
Use Metallic Paintwork Wax on vehic les
with a metallic-effect paint finish.
Wheels
Use a pH-neutral w heel cleaning agent to
clean the wheels.
Avoid using abrasive materials and
brushes that can damage the finish.
Wheels are painted and can be treated
with the same ag ents as the body. For alloy
wheels we recomm end use of Alloy Whee l
Preserv er.
Paintwork damage
Repair small areas of paint damage such
as stone impacts, scratches etc.
immediately using a Vauxhall Touch-up
Applicator or Vauxhall Spra y and
Touch-up Paint before rust can form.
If rust has already formed, have the cause
remedied by a workshop. Please also pay
attention to surfaces and edges beneath
the vehicle where rust m ay have formed
unnoticed for some time.
Exterior lights
Headlight and other protective light bezels
are made of plastic. If they require
additional cleaning after the vehicle has
been wa shed, cle an them w ith
Car Shampoo. Do not use any abrasive or
caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper,
and do not clean them dry.
