WAXING

• Wash the vehicle first.

• Use a quality wax that does not 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.

• Do not allow paint sealant to come in contact with the sliding door

electrical contact switches. Paint sealant or other contaminants could

interfere with the proper operation of the power locks or radio

speakers. If necessary, clean the contacts with Motorcraft威 Bug and

Tar Remover (ZC-42) to remove any sealant. Do not use any abrasives

on the contact surfaces.

PAINT CHIPS

Your authorized dealer has touch-up paint to match your vehicle’s color.

Take your color code (printed on a sticker in the driver’s door jamb) to

your authorized dealer to ensure you get the correct color.

• Remove particles such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar

spots, road salt and industrial fallout before repairing paint chips.

• Always read the instructions before using the products.

ALUMINUM WHEELS AND WHEEL COVERS

Aluminum wheels and wheel covers are coated with a clear coat paint

finish. In order to maintain their shine:

• Clean weekly with Motorcraft威 Wheel and Tire Cleaner, which is

available from your authorized dealer. Heavy dirt and brake dust

accumulation may require agitation with a sponge. Rinse thoroughly

with a strong stream of water.

• Never apply any cleaning chemical to hot or warm wheel rims or

covers.

• Some automatic car washes may cause damage to the finish on your

wheel rims or covers. Industrial-strength (heavy-duty) cleaners, or

cleaning chemicals, in combination with brush agitation to remove

brake dust and dirt, could wear away the clear coat finish over time.

• Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based or high caustic-based wheel

cleaners, steel wool, fuels or strong household detergent.

• To remove tar and grease, use Motorcraft威 Bug and Tar Remover ,

available from your authorized dealer.
