WASHING THE EXTERIOR

Wash your vehicle regularly with cool or lukewarm water and a neutral

Ph shampoo, such as Motorcraft Detail Wash (ZC-3–A), which is available

from your dealer.

• Never use strong household detergents or soap, such as dish washing

or laundry liquid. These products can discolor and spot painted

surfaces.

• Never wash a vehicle that is “hot to the touch” or during exposure to

strong, direct sunlight.

• Always use a clean sponge or carwash mitt with plenty of water for

best results.

• Dry the vehicle with a chamois or soft terry cloth towel in order to

eliminate water spotting.

• It is especially important to wash the vehicle regularly during the

winter months, as dirt and road salt are difficult to remove and cause

damage to the vehicle.

• Immediately remove items such as gasoline, diesel fuel, bird droppings

and insect deposits because they can cause damage to the vehicle’s

paintwork and trim over time.

• Remove any exterior accessories, such as antennas, before entering a

car wash.

• Suntan lotions and insect repellents can damage any painted

surface; if these substances come in contact with your vehicle,

wash off as soon as possible.

• If your vehicle is equipped with running boards, do not use

rubber, plastic and vinyl protectant products on the running

board surface, as the area may become slippery.

WAXING

Applying a polymer paint sealant to your vehicle every six months will

assist in reducing minor scratches and paint damage.

• Wash the vehicle first.

• Do not use waxes that contain abrasives.

• Do not allow paint sealant to come in contact with any non-body

(low-gloss black) colored trim, such as grained door handles, roof

racks, bumpers, side moldings, mirror housings or the windshield cowl

area. The paint sealant will “gray” or stain the parts over time.
