Please clean the vehicle to protect the body paint under the following circumstances:
- After driving on rainy days, the surface paint may be damaged due to acid rain.
- After driving on the road along the coast. The car body may rust due to seawater erosion.
- When pollutants such as soot, bird droppings, tree grease, metal particles or bugs remain on the surface of the car body.
- When dust or mud accumulates on the surface of the vehicle.
Wash the dirt off the vehicle with a wet sponge and plenty of water.
Wash the vehicle thoroughly with neutral soapy water or detergent (special car wash soap or general dishwashing detergent) mixed with clean, mild water.
Rinse the vehicle with enough water. After washing the vehicle, wipe it with a special cloth (suede) to avoid leaving spots after the vehicle dries.
- The seams, doors, windows, and front bonnet are most susceptible to corrosion from road antifreeze salts. Therefore, these places must be cleaned frequently.
- Make sure the drain hole under the door is unblocked.
- Before cleaning the vehicle, rinse the bottom and wheels of the car with water to easily remove mud, salt, and other dirt.
- Do not use strong household soap, strong chemical detergent and other dissolving agents to clean the vehicle surface.
- Do not clean the vehicle when the body surface is very hot, otherwise water spots will form on the paint surface.
- Do not clean the body with hard leather or coarse cloth.
- Do not wash the vehicle while charging to prevent the risk of electric shock.
- Never wash the charge cable while charging.
- Do not clean the charge connector and plug to prevent terminal corrosion and malfunction during charging.
- Do not allow water or other liquids to come into contact with electrical components inside the vehicle, as it may damage the electrical components.
Do not use fuel oil, turpentine, nail polish remover or other volatile liquids to maintain vehicles. The above liquids are toxic and flammable, which can easily cause fire and explosion!
Asphalt or other oil stains, industrial dirt, insect stains and resin on the lower part of the vehicle should be removed in time to avoid damageing the paint or leaving stains.
Avoid using high-pressure water to clean the front compartment, charging port, high-voltage components, or battery, as this may damage electrical circuits or result in electric shock.
Frequent waxing of vehicles can protect the paint surface and help keep the vehicle beautiful.
Mechanical friction or intense polishing on the primer/varnish layer may result in imperfect finish or vortex marks.
After waxing, polish to remove the residue on the surface and avoid weathering.
- Wash the vehicle thoroughly before waxing.
- Please use car wax according to the instructions of car wax manufacturer.
- Do not use waxes containing abrasives, mixtures or detergents, which may damage the body paint.
When using the windshield washer to remove the dirt on the windshield, spray the windshield washer on the glass surface before scraping. Otherwise, it is easy to damage the outer surface of wiper and glass.
Even if it rains a little, it should be sprayed first and then scraped.
In areas using de-icing salt during winter, frequently wash the vehicle's underside to prevent corrosion of undercarriage and suspension components from dirt and salt buildup.
Do not use high-pressure water jets on undercarriage high-pressure components, as this may damage circuits, causing severe damage or electrical shock hazard.
During winter or spring, check vehicle seals and reprocess if necessary.
Wash the wheels when cleaning the vehicle to keep the appearance clean.
When changing wheels or cleaning the bottom of the vehicle, the inside of the wheels should be cleaned.
Do not use abrasive cleaner when cleaning wheels.
Check the rim regularly for pits or erosion. This can cause pressure loss or damage to tyre edges.
It is recommended to wax the wheels to prevent them from being corroded by road antifreeze salts used in winter.
Clean chrome parts regularly with a non-abrasive chrome polish to maintain shine.
Always use a vacuum cleaner or duster to remove dust and dirt from the car (such as interiors, plastic parts and seats, etc.).
After soaking in soapy water with a clean and soft cloth, wipe off the dirt on plastic or leather, and then dry it with a soft cloth.
- Never wipe with any light turpentine or petroleum-based liquids
- Do not use fabric protectors without the manufacturer's recommendation.
Using floor mats will prolong the service life of carpets in cars and make cleaning in cars easy.
No matter what floor mats are used, they should be confirmed to be suitable for the car and fixed correctly and reliably, so as not to interfere with pedal operation.
Using an unfixed floor mat, the sliding of the floor mat may hinder the operation of the brake pedal and accelerator pedal, resulting in serious accidents.
When cleaning the inside of the glass, do not use tools with blades or chlorine-based disinfectants.
In winter, if the inside of the glass fogs up, you can spray an appropriate amount of specialized glass anti-fog spray to prevent fogging.
Seat belt webbing can be scrubbed with a sponge stained with neutral detergent.
After cleaning, the seat belt webbing should be completely dried before use, and the wet webbing should not be directly retracted into the retractor, so as not to cause damage to the retractor.
Do not clean the belt webbing with bleaching powder, dyes and chemical solvents, otherwise it will seriously damage the webbing.
