film such as deep scratches and immediately get them
repaired from an Authorised Service Center, as these
defects tend to accelerate corrosion.

Always park your car in shade to protect it from harsh
sunlight or in a well-ventilated garage so that there is no
dampness on any part of the car.

HAND WASH :
1. Always wash your car in shade and when the surface is
at room temperature.

use a soft 100% cotton cloth to avoid scratches. Please
take help of your dealer to buy the right products.
3. Please be sure that you remove your wristwatch and
wear soft gloves to avoid scratches due to finger rings
or nails.
4. To remove stubborn stains and contaminants like tar,
use turpentine or cleaners like "Stain Remover" which is
safe for painted surfaces. Again your dealer can help
you in selecting the right product.
5. Avoid substances like petrol, diesel, kerosene, benzene
or other solvents that cause damage to paint.
