Caring for and cleaning anodized sur-
f
ac
e
s
It is not easy to detect the difference between
aluminium and an anodized sur
face, for ex-
ample, a radiator grille. However, anodized
surfaces must not be treated in the same way
as aluminium surfaces. Never use rough
sponges or cloths to wipe away insect re-
mains.
●
Use a clean, damp, lint-free cloth to clean
anodized surfaces.
●
If there is a lot of dirt, use a special clean-
ing product
which does not contain solvents.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the anodized surfaces:
●
Do not use products containing solvents.
●
Do not use polish or hard wax.
●
Do not use abrasive products.
●
Do not polish anodized surfaces in sandy or
dusty
environments.

Do not polish dirty surfaces.
Cleaning wheels
Cleaning steel wheels
U
se an indu
s
trial cleaner to remove brake
dust. Therefore, clean wheels regularly with a
separate sponge.
Any damage to the paint on steel wheels
should be touched up before the metal starts
to rust.
Caring for and cleaning alloy wheels
Remove road salt and brake dust by washing
the wheels approximately once a fortnight.
Use an acid free detergent to clean the wheel
rims. SEAT recommends treating the wheels
thoroughly with a wax compound about once
every three months.
It is important to remove road salt and brake
dust by washing the wheels at regular inter-
vals, otherwise the finish will be impaired.
Always use an acid-free detergent for alloy
wheel rims. Car polish or other abrasive
agents should not be used for maintaining
the rims.
If the protective coating on the paint has
been damaged (e.g. hit by a stone), it should
be repaired immediately.
Caring for rubber seals
The rubber seals on doors, windows, etc., re-
m
ain fl
e
xible, provide a better seal and last
longer if they are regularly treated with a
product specifically designed for use on rub-
ber.
