Even if a wax solution is used regularly at the car wash, Volkswagen recommends applying a coat of
hard wax at least twice a year to protect the paint.
Polishing
Polish your vehicle if the paint has lost its shine and the gloss cannot be brought back with wax.
The vehicle must be waxed after polishing if the polish used does not contain wax compounds to seal
the paint.
WARNING
After the vehicle has been washed, the wet brakes or, in winter, brake discs or pads coated with
ice, react slower and need longer stopping distances.
Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a few careful applications of the
brake. Make sure not to endanger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.
WARNING
Improper use of power washers can cause serious invisible permanent damage leading to tire
failure and loss of vehicle control. This can cause accidents and severe personal injury.
Keep sufficient distance between water jet and tires. Never wash tires with a nozzle that
sprays the water out in a direct stream regardless of the distance to the tire and even for a
very short time.
Never use dirt blasters to clean tires. Even spraying from a relatively long distance for a very
short time can do visible or invisible damage to tires.
NOTE
Serious vehicle damage may occur if the vehicle is not washed correctly.
The water temperature must not be more than +140°F (+60°C).
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Do not use insect sponges, abrasive kitchen sponges or similar things to clean the vehicle.
These can damage the paint finish.
Never clean headlights with a dry cloth or sponge. Always use a wet cloth or sponge. For best
results use soapy water.
