• When washing the vehicle, use
water to wash off dirt. If the vehi-
cle is particularly dirty, use a
diluted neutral detergent and a
sponge or a soft cloth and wash
off the dirt by hand.
• Wash detergent off with water
immediately after use. After using
detergent, wash the detergent off
with water and wipe the vehicle
dry with a soft cloth.
● For vehicles with 18-inch matte
painted wheels and 19-inch matte
painted wheels: Make sure to
observe the following precautions
to prevent damage to the matte
paint.
• Do not polish or scrub with dry
cloths, brushes, etc.
• Do not use detergents containing
coatings or abrasives.
• If using an automatic car wash,
make sure it does not include ded-
icated wheel brushes.

guns or steam cleaners.
• Do not use detergent on the
wheels when they are hot, such
as after driving or parking in hot
weather.

If dirt cannot be removed, clean the

approximately 5% solution of neu-
tral detergent and water to clean
the dirt off.

cloth to remove any remaining
moisture.
● To remove oily deposits, use alco-
hol wet wipes or a similar product.
