Caring for your vehicle

Caring for the vehicle finish

Regular washing is a preventive

measure against long-term effects from

substances that are harmful to the

vehicle's finish, especially if you drive

your vehicle in areas with high levels

of air pollution or aggressive natural

substances (tree resins, pollen).

Nevertheless, you should immediately

remove especially aggressive

substances. Failure to do so can lead

to changes in the paint's chemical

structure or to discoloration. Gasoline

spilled during refueling, oil, grease and

brake fluid should always be cleaned

away immediately, as should bird

droppings.

Any contamination remaining on the

surface of the vehicle will be especially

conspicuous after washing. Use clean-

ing fluid or alcohol with a clean cloth or

cotton pad to remove. Remove tar spots

with tar remover. After cleaning, the

affected areas should be waxed to

ensure continued protection.

Use cleaning and car-care

products that you can obtain at

your BMW center.<

Waxing your vehicle

Protect the finish using carnauba or

synthetic-based waxes only.

The best way to determine when the

finish needs to be waxed is by noting

when water stops beading on the

surface.

You can use a glass cleaner to remove

any wax or silicone that may have been

left on the windows during waxing.

Use cleaning and car-care

products that you can obtain at

your BMW center.<

Paint damage

You can touch up small areas of paint

damage with a BMW spray paint or a

BMW touchup stick.

The paint color code for your vehicle is

provided on a sticker located on the

right hand side under the hood and on

the first page of your Service and War-

ranty Information Booklet (US models)

or Warranty and Service Guide Booklet

(Canadian models).

Damage caused by flying stones,

scratches, etc., must be touched

up without delay to prevent rust from

forming.

If corrosion has started to form in an

area with paint damage, remove all rust

and clean the area. Then prime the area

with a BMW Primer Stick. Finally, apply

the finish coat. Wait a few days, then

polish the repaired area. Finish by

applying a wax preservative.

More extensive paint damage should

be professionally repaired in accor-

dance with the manufacturer's instruc-

tions. Your BMW center uses original

BMW finish materials in accordance

with official repair procedures.
