CLEANING PRODUCTS
!
WARNING:
Dry cleaning fluids may be toxic or
flammable. Take adequate precautions
when handling these products.
Brush and clean the interior regularly. Use
a vacuum cleaner where possible to
remove all dust from the interior and trim.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Washing your vehicle
For best results, do not wash the vehicle
under strong sunlight. Always allow the
vehicle to cool down before washing.
Do not use a dry cloth to wipe dirty
paintwork. Dust and gritty substances are
abrasive and will scratch the paintwork.
Remove dirt using a cellulose sponge and
plenty of warm (never hot) water. Rinse off
with clean water and dry using a clean,
damp chamois leather.
Do not use household soaps or
detergents. The use of Jaguar Vehicle
Shampoo is recommended.
Using an automatic wash
Caution:
• Ensure that AUTO, wipers, is not
selected when entering a car wash
or damage to the wiper blades and
arms can occur as they will operate
in the car wash.
• Ensure that the audio system is
turned OFF so that the aerial is
retracted.
Note: Regular use of automatic car
washes tends to dull the lustre of the
paintwork.
After leaving the car wash, switch on the
windshield wiper immediately to remove
water and prevent a build up of wax.
Convertible top fabric
Caution:
• Do not use an automatic car wash
that has rotating brushes.
The action of the brushes may
damage the exterior fabric or the
seals of the convertible top.
• Do not use spot cleaners, chemical
dilutants or any organic cleaners. If
in doubt, contact your Jaguar
Dealer.
