WASHING THE VEHICLE PAINTWORK
Substances which are corrosive can damage
the vehicle's paintwork. Any such deposits
should be removed as soon as possible to
prevent damage.
USING AN AUTOMATIC WASH
Commercially operated automatic car washes,
jet washes and power-operated mops, are not
recommended.
UNDER HOOD CLEANING
Do not use a high pressure washer or steam
cleaner in the engine compartment.
Ensure that the brake fluid reservoir is kept dry
at all times. Only use a clean, dry cloth to clean
the brake fluid cap and reservoir.
CLEANING GLASS SURFACES
Clean the rear window with a soft cloth to avoid
damaging the heating element. Do not scrape
the glass or use any abrasive cleaning fluid.
Mirror glass is particularly susceptible to
damage. Wash with soapy water. Do not use
abrasive cleaning compounds or metal
scrapers to remove ice.
To avoid damaging the protecting coating, only
clean the interior side of the sunroof glass with
a soft cloth. Don not scrape the glass or use
abrasive cleaning fluids.
CLEANING THE REAR GLASS
To avoid damaging the heating elements when
cleaning the inside of the rear glass, use only a
soft damp cloth or chamois leather. Do not use
solvents or sharp objects to clean the glass.
CLEANING THE SUNROOF WIND
DEFLECTOR
A mild solution of soap and water or car
shampoo should be used to clean the wind
deflector net periodically. Support the
underside of the net with a soft cloth, and
gently scrub the net using a soft bristled brush.
REMOVING GREASE AND TAR
Remove grease or tar with Jaguar Tar Remover
or methylated spirit (alcohol). White spirit is
also effective, but must not be applied to
rubber, particularly the windshield wiper
blades.
Ensure that after using methylated or white
spirit, the area is washed immediately with
soapy water, to remove all traces of spirit.
POLISHING
Chrome polish, or other abrasive cleaners,
must not be used on the vehicle's brightwork.
It is recommended that the vehicle is polished
regularly using Jaguar polish and a polishing
cloth.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Some cleaning products contain substances
that are harmful and can cause health
problems if used incorrectly. They may also
cause damage to the interior of the vehicle.
The steering wheel center pad and other areas
containing air bags should only be cleaned
sparingly with a damp cloth, warm water and a
non-detergent soap.
