Washing with a power washer
Always follow the instructions for the power washer. This especially applies to the pressure and
spraying distance⇒ .
Use water only up to a maximum temperature of +140°F (+60°C).
Do not clean windows that are iced over or covered in snow with a power washer.
Move the jet of water smoothly so that the nozzle is at least 20inches (50cm) away from the
vehicle.
Do not point the water jet at the same location for too long. Instead, leave stubborn dirt to soak.
If possible, do not direct the water jet at seals, decorative trim, tires, rubber hoses, insulation ma‐
terials, door locks or any other sensitive components.
Sensors, camera lenses, and decorative and protective films should be sprayed directly only for
brief periods of time ⇒ .
Never use concentrated jet nozzles or so-called dirt blasters⇒ .
Never use a power washer to clean the engine compartment ⇒Engine compartment and plenum
chamber .
Washing by hand
Washing by hand is a gentle way to clean your vehicle. However, there are also some things to note
for this ⇒ .
First soften the dirt with plenty of water and then rinse off as much dirt as possible.
Clean the vehicle with a soft sponge, washing mitt, or brush using only light pressure. Start on the
roof and work down.
Rinse the sponge, glove, or brush thoroughly and often.
Clean the wheels and under the door sills last. Use a different sponge or wash mitt.
Use a cleaning shampoo for very stubborn dirt only.
Waxing
A good coat of wax helps to protect the vehicle paint. When water no longer forms small drops and
runs off when the paint is clean, apply a new coat of good hard wax to protect the vehicle again.
