Caring for your vehicle

Waxing your car

Protect the finish using only carnauba

or synthetic-based waxes.

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 the cleaning and car-care

products available 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

Warranty 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 repaired professionally in accor-

dance with the manufacturer's instruc-

tions. Your BMW center uses original

BMW finish materials in accordance

with approved repair procedures.

Window care

You can use window and glass cleaner

to clean inside window surfaces and

mirrors without smearing and streaking.

Never use polishing pastes or abrasive

(quartz) cleansers on mirror lenses.

Clean the wiper blades with soapy

water. The wiper blades should be

replaced twice a year – before and after

the cold season. This is especially

important for vehicles equipped with a

rain sensor

*.

Use only wiper blades approved

by BMW.<

Caring for other vehicle

components and materials

Light-alloy wheels should be treated

with alloy wheel cleaner, especially

during the winter months. However, do

not use aggressive products containing

acids, strong alkalis or abrasives. Do

not use steam cleaners operating at

temperatures above 140 7 (+60 6).

Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

If your vehicle has chrome parts

* such

as window moldings, door handles or

similar items, clean these parts carefully

with ample clean water, and possibly a

shampoo additive, especially if there is
