Waxing your vehicle

Wax when water stops beading on the surface. This could be every three

or four months, depending on operating conditions.

Use only carnauba or synthetic-based waxes. Use cleaning fluid or

alcohol with a clean cloth to remove any bugs and tar before waxing

vehicle. Use tar remover to remove any tar spots.

Avoid getting wax on the windshield. If you have wax applied at a

commercial car wash, it is recommended that you clean the wiper blades

and windshield as described in Cleaning the wiper blades and

windshield.

Repairing paint chips

Minor scratches or paint damage from road debris may be repaired with

touch-up paint, repair foil or aerosol paint spray from the Ford accessory

line. Observe the application instructions on the products.

Remove particles such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect remains, tar

spots, road salt and industrial fallout immediately.

Cleaning the wheels

Wash with the same detergent as the body of your vehicle. Do not use

acid-based or alcohol-based wheel cleaners, steel wool, fuel or strong

detergents. Never use abrasives that will damage the finish of special

wheel surfaces. Use a tar remover to remove grease and tar.
