To protect the paint surface, wash your vehicle as soon as you can: . after a rainfall to prevent possible damage from acid rain . after driving on coastal roads . when contaminants such as soot, bird droppings, tree sap, metal particles or bugs get on the paint surface . when dust or mud builds up on the surface Whenever possible, store or park your vehicle inside a garage or in a covered area.
When it is necessary to park outside, park in a shady area or protect the vehicle with a body cover.
Be careful not to scratch the paint surface when putting on or removing the body cover.
