Vehicle care
CLEANING THE ALLOY WHEELS
Wash the wheels with soap and water, this
should be done more frequently when the
wheels are exposed to heavy dirt deposits, salt,
clay etc. If you are unsure how often to clean
the wheels in particular conditions, seek advice
from your Land Rover Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.
Land Rover approved wheel cleaner should be
used to remove heavy soiling.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Washing the vehicle
Remove heavy deposits of mud and dirt with a
hose before washing the vehicle.
Wash the vehicle frequently using a sponge
and generous quantities of cold or luke warm
water containing a suitable car shampoo. Rinse
thoroughly, and dry with a chamois leather, or
synthetic substitute.
Removing tar spots
Use white spirit to remove tar spots and
stubborn grease stains from paintwork. Ensure
that after using white spirit, the area is washed
immediately with soapy water to remove all
traces of spirit.
CAUTION
Do not use non-approved, or acid based
wheel cleaners. These can damage the
wheel coating which may lead to
corrosion of the wheel rims.
CAUTIONS
Some high pressure cleaning systems
are sufficiently powerful to penetrate
door/window seals, and damage trim
and door locks. Never aim the water jet directly
at the engine air intake, heater air intakes, body
seals (doors, sunroof, windows etc) or at any
components which may be damaged (lights,
mirrors, exterior trim etc).
E79400
Do not use a power wash system in the
engine bay area as it may damage fragile
components, electrical systems etc.
Ensure that you read and comply with all
warnings and instructions supplied with
any cleaning products.
Never use cleaning products which are
not approved for use on vehicles.
CAUTION
Substances which are corrosive, such
as bird droppings, tree resin, dead
insects, tar spots, road salt, and
industrial fall out, can damage the vehicle's
paintwork. Any such deposits should be
removed as soon as possible to prevent
damage to the vehicle's paintwork.
