240 Care and cleaning
CAUTION
● When you clean the vehicle with a pressure washer,
– stay a suitable distance from the sensors on the front and rear bump-
ers.
– Do not clean the camera lenses or surrounding area with the pressure
washer.
● Never use warm or hot water to remove snow and ice from the reverse
camera lens, as it could crack the lens.
● Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the lens.
Care and polishing
Care
Waxing protects the paintwork. It is time to apply a good coat of wax when
water no longer forms droplets and rolls off the clean paintwork.
Even if a wax solution is used regularly in the vehicle washing tunnel, it is
advisable to protect the paint with a hard wax coating at least twice a year.
In the summer, you will find it is much easier to remove dead insects (which
accumulate on the bumper and the front of the bonnet) if the car has been
treated with care products recently.
Polishing
Polishing is only necessary if the paint has lost its shine, and the gloss can-
not be brought back by putting on wax.
If the polish does not contain wax, a wax product should be applied after
polishing.
CAUTION
● Do not use polishes and hard wax on painted parts with a matt finish or
on plastic parts.
● Do not apply paint polishes to the side trim that runs around the panor-
amic roof and ends on the windscreen. However, it can be treated with hard
wax.
Trims
In respect for the environment, the silver-plated trims on the body are made
of pure aluminium (they do not contain chrome).
Dirt or marks on the trim mouldings should be removed with a cleaning
product with a neutral PH (do not use a chrome cleaner). Body polish is also
unsuitable for use on trim mouldings. The intensive cleaning fluids often
used before the car goes into a car wash may contain alkaline substances,
which can cause dull or milky patches when they dry out.
SEAT Official Services carry stocks of cleaning products which have been
tested for use on your vehicle and are not harmful to the environment.
Plastic parts
Plastic parts are cleaned with a power washer. If this is not sufficient, plas-
tic parts should only be treated with a special solvent-free plastic cleaning
agent. Do not use paintwork cleaners, polishes or wax on plastic parts.
