CAUTION
Be careful not to damage brake hoses , sensor harnesses , and other parts when washing suspension components .
Be careful not to flush the engine bottom for a long time . It may cause damage of some electrical parts .
▼ Using a warm water washer
� Keep a good distance of 12 in ( 30 cm ) or more between the washer nozzle and the vehicle .
� Do not wash the same area continuously .
� If a stain will not come out easily , wash by hand . Some warm water washers are of the high temperature , high pressure type , and they can damage or deform the resin parts such as moldings , or cause water to leak into the vehicle .
■ Waxing and Polishing
Always wash and dry the vehicle before waxing and polishing .
Use a good quality polish and wax and apply them according to the manufacturer ’ s instructions . Wax or polish when the painted surface is cool .
Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim , as well as the painted surfaces . Loss of wax on a painted surface leads to loss of the original luster and also quickens the deterioration of the surface . It is recommended that a coat of wax be applied at least once a month , or whenever the surface no longer repels water .
If the appearance of the paint has diminished to the point where the luster or tone cannot be restored , lightly polish the surface with a fine-grained compound . Never polish just the affected area , but include the surrounding area as well . Always polish in only one direction . A No . 2000 grain compound is recommended . Never use a coarse-grained compound . Coarser grained compounds have a smaller grain-size number and could damage the paint . After polishing with a compound , coat with wax to restore the original luster . Frequent polishing with a compound or an incorrect polishing technique will result in removing the paint layer and exposing the undercoat . When in doubt , it is always best to contact your SUBARU dealer or an auto paint specialist .
