How to Minimize
Environmental Paint Damage

The paintwork on your Mazda represents
the latest technical developments in
composition and methods of application.

Environmental hazards, however, can
harm the paint's protective properties, if
proper care is not taken.

Here are some examples of possible
damage, with tips on how to prevent
them.

qEtching Caused by Acid Rain or

Industrial Fallout

Occurrence

Industrial pollutants and vehicle emissions
drift into the air and mix with rain or dew
to form acids. These acids can settle on a
vehicle's finish. As the water evaporates,
the acid becomes concentrated and can
damage the finish.
And the longer the acid remains on the
surface, the greater the chance is for
damage.

Prevention

It is necessary to wash and wax your
vehicle to preserve its finish according to
the instructions in this section. These
steps should be taken immediately after
you suspect that acid rain has settled on
your vehicle's finish.

qDamage Caused by Bird

Dropping, Insects, or Tree Sap

Occurrence

Bird droppings contain acids. If these
aren't removed they can eat away the clear
and color base coat of the vehicle's
paintwork.

When insects stick to the paint surface
and decompose, corrosive compounds
form. These can erode the clear and color
base coat of the vehicle's paintwork if
they are not removed.

Tree sap will harden and adhere
permanently to the paint finish. If you
scratch the sap off while it is hard, some
vehicle paint could come off with it.

Prevention

It is necessary to have your Mazda
washed and waxed to preserve its finish
according to the instructions in this
section. This should be done as soon as
possible.

Bird droppings can be removed with a
soft sponge and water. If you are traveling
and these are not available, a moistened
tissue may also take care of the problem.
The cleaned area should be waxed
according to the instructions in this
section.
Insects and tree sap are best removed with
a soft sponge and water or a commercially
available chemical cleaner.

Another method is to cover the affected
area with dampened newspaper for one to
two hours. After removing the newspaper,
rinse off the loosened debris with water.

qWater Marks

Occurrence

Rain, fog, dew, and even tap water can
contain harmful minerals such as salt and
lime. If moisture containing these
minerals settles on the vehicle and
evaporates, the minerals will concentrate
and harden to form white rings. The rings
can damage your vehicle's finish.

Prevention

It is necessary to wash and wax your
vehicle to preserve its finish according to
the instructions in this section. These
steps should be taken immediately after
you find water marks on your vehicle's
finish.

qPaint Chipping

Occurrence

Paint chipping occurs when gravel thrown
in the air by another vehicle's tires hits
your vehicle.

How to avoid paint chipping

Keeping a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead reduces the chances of
having your paint chipped by flying
gravel.

NOTE

The paint chipping zone varies with the
speed of the vehicle. For example, when
traveling at 90 km/h (56 mph), the paint
chipping zone is 50 m (164 ft).

In low temperatures a vehicle's finish
hardens. This increases the chance of paint
chipping.

Chipped paint can lead to rust forming on
your Mazda. Before this happens, repair the
damage by using Mazda touch-up paint
according to the instructions in this section.
Failure to repair the affected area could
lead to serious rusting and expensive
repairs.

when using a chemical cleaner or polish.
Read all warnings and cautions.

qMaintaining the Finish

Washing

CAUTION

Ø When the wiper lever is in the

AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, the wipers may
move automatically in the
following cases:

If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with
a cloth.

If the windshield is struck with
a hand or other object from
either outside or inside the
vehicle.

Keep hands and scrapers clear of
the windshield when the wiper
lever is in the AUTO position and
the ignition is switched ON as
fingers could be pinched or the
wipers and wiper blades damaged
when the wipers activate
automatically.
If you are going to clean the
windshield, be sure the wipers are
turned off completely

―this is

particularly important when
clearing ice and snow

―when it is

most likely that the engine is left
running.

Ø Do not spray water in the engine

compartment. Otherwise, it could
result in engine-starting problems
or damage to electrical parts.

Ø When washing and waxing the

vehicle, be careful not to apply
excessive force to any single area
of the vehicle roof or the antenna.
Otherwise, you could dent the
vehicle or damage the antenna.

To help protect the finish from rust and
deterioration, wash your Mazda
thoroughly and frequently, at least once a
month, with lukewarm or cold water.

If the vehicle is washed improperly, the
paint surface could be scratched. Here are
some examples of how scratching could
occur.

Scratches occur on the paint surface
when:

The vehicle is washed without first
rinsing off dirt and other foreign
matter.

The vehicle is washed with a rough,
dry, or dirty cloth.

The vehicle is washed at a car wash
that uses brushes that are dirty or too
stiff.

Cleansers or wax containing abrasives
are used.

NOTE

Mazda is not responsible for scratches
caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.

Scratches are more noticeable on vehicles
with darker paint finishes.

To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint finish:

Rinse off any dirt or other foreign
matter using lukewarm or cold water
before washing.

Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water
and a soft cloth when washing the
vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.

Rub gently when washing or drying the
vehicle.

Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well maintained.

Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax
that contain abrasives.

CAUTION

Ø Do not use steel wool, abrasive

cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or
caustic agents on chrome-plated
or anodized aluminum parts. This
may damage the protective
coating; also, cleaners and
detergents may discolor or
deteriorate the paint.

Ø To prevent damaging the antenna,

remove it before entering a car
wash facility or passing beneath a
low overhead clearance.

Pay special attention to removing salt,
dirt, mud, and other foreign material from
the underside of the fenders, and make
sure the drain holes in the lower edges of
the doors and rocker panels are clean.

Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial fallout, and similar deposits can
damage the finish if not removed
immediately. When prompt washing with
plain water is ineffective, use a mild soap
made for use on vehicles.

Thoroughly rinse off all soap with
lukewarm or cold water. Do not allow
soap to dry on the finish.

After washing the vehicle, dry it with a
clean chamois to prevent water spots from
forming.

WARNING

Dry off brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the brake
performance returns to normal:

Driving with wet brakes is
dangerous. Increased stopping
distance or the vehicle pulling to one
side when braking could result in a
serious accident. Light braking will
indicate whether the brakes have
been affected.

When using an automatic car wash

Retract the door mirrors.

The automatic car wash brushes could
reduce the paint lustre or hasten paint
deterioration.

When using a high water pressure car
wash

High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of car wash
machine. If the car washer nozzle is put
too close to the vehicle, the force of the
spray could damage or deform the
molding, affect the sealability of parts,
and allow water to penetrate the interior.
Keep a sufficient space (30 cm (12 in) or
more) between the nozzle and the vehicle.
In addition, do not spend too much time
spraying the same area of the vehicle, and
be very careful when spraying between
gaps in doors and around windows.

Waxing

Your vehicle needs to be waxed when
water no longer beads on the finish.

Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing it. In addition to the vehicle body,
wax the metal trim to maintain its luster.

1. Use wax which contains no abrasives.

Waxes containing abrasive will remove
paint and could damage bright metal
parts.

2. Use a good grade of natural wax for

metallic, mica, and solid colors.

3. When waxing, coat evenly with the

sponge supplied or a soft cloth.

4. Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.

NOTE

A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and similar
materials will usually also take off the wax.
Rewax these areas even if the rest of the
vehicle does not need it.

qRepairing Damage to the Finish

Deep scratches or chips on the finish
should be repaired promptly. Exposed
metal quickly rusts and can lead to major
repairs.

CAUTION

If your Mazda is damaged and needs
metal parts repaired or replaced,
make sure the body shop applies
anti-corrosion materials to all parts,
both repaired and new. This will
prevent them from rusting.

qBright-Metal Maintenance

Use tar remover to remove road tar and
insects. Never do this with a knife or
similar tool.

To prevent corrosion on bright-metal
surfaces, apply wax or chrome
preservative and rub it to a high luster.

Maintenance and Care

Appearance Care

Mazda5_8FN4-EA-16G_Edition1 Page384
Monday, May 23 2016 7:37 PM

Black plate (385,1)

During cold weather or in coastal areas,
cover bright-metal parts with a coating
of wax or preservative heavier than
usual. It would also help to coat them
with noncorrosive petroleum jelly or
some other protective compound.

CAUTION

Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chrome-plated or anodized
aluminum parts. This may result in
damage to the protective coating and
cause discoloration or paint
deterioration.

qUnderbody Maintenance

Road chemicals and salt used for ice and
snow removal and solvents used for dust
control may collect on the underbody. If
not removed, they will speed up rusting
and deterioration of such underbody parts
as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust
system, even though these parts may be
coated with anti-corrosive material.

Thoroughly flush the underbody and
wheel housings with lukewarm or cold
water at the end of each winter. Try also
to do this every month.

Pay special attention to these areas
because they easily hide mud and dirt. It
will do more harm than good to wet
down the road grime without removing
it.

The lower edges of doors, rocker panels,
and frame members have drain holes that
should not be clogged. Water trapped
there will cause rusting.

WARNING

Dry wet brakes by driving very slowly
and applying the brakes lightly until
brake performance is normal:

qAluminum Wheel Maintenance

A protective coating is provided over the
aluminum wheels. Special care is needed
to protect this coating.

CAUTION

Do not use any detergent other than
mild detergent. Before using any
detergent, verify the ingredients.
Otherwise, the product could discolor
or stain the aluminum wheels.

NOTE

Do not use a wire brush or any abrasive
cleaner, polishing compound, or solvent on
aluminum wheels. They may damage the
coating.

Always use a sponge or soft cloth to clean
the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with lukewarm
or cold water. Also, be sure to clean the
wheels after driving on dusty or salted
roads to help prevent corrosion.

Avoid washing your vehicle in an automatic
car wash that uses high-speed or hard
brushes.

If your aluminum wheels lose luster, wax
the wheels.

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Check special requirements for Tire Pressure
Monitoring System.
Refer to Tires and Wheels on page 5-32.

qPlastic Part Maintenance

When cleaning the plastic lenses of the
lights, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolor or damage the
surfaces resulting in a significant loss
in functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, flush with water
immediately.

If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as
gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery
fluid, it could cause discoloration,
staining, or paint peeling. Wipe off any
such chemical agents or fluids using a
soft cloth immediately.

High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure
car washer device. If the car washer
nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended
period of time, it could deform plastic
parts or damage the paint.

Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.

In addition, do not use an electrical or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result in
deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.

2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using

a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.

3. Before retracting seat belts which have

been pulled out for cleaning, dry them
off thoroughly and make sure there is
no remaining moisture on them.

WARNING

If a seat belt appears frayed or has
abrasions, have it replaced by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

If a seat belts is used under such a
condition, it cannot function at its
full capacity which could result in
serious injury or death.

Use a mild detergent to remove soiling
from a seat belt.

If organic solvents are used for
cleaning the seat belts or they
become stained or bleached, there is
the possibility of them becoming
weakened and as a result, they may
not function at their full capacity
which could cause serious injury or
death.

4. Remove moisture with a dry, soft cloth

and allow the leather to further dry in a
well-ventilated, shaded area. If the
leather gets wet such as from rain,
remove the moisture and dry it as soon
as possible.

NOTE

Because genuine leather is a natural
material, its surface is not uniform and it
may have natural scars, scratches, and
wrinkles.

To maintain the quality for as long as
possible, periodical maintenance, about
twice a year, is recommended.

If the leather upholstery comes into contact
with any of the following, clean it
immediately.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
premature wear, mold, or stains.

Sand or dirt

Grease or oil, such as hand cream

Alcohol, such as in cosmetic or hair
dressing items

If the leather upholstery gets wet, promptly
remove moisture with a dry cloth.
Remaining moisture on the surface may
cause deterioration such as hardening and
shrinkage.

Exposure to direct sunlight for long periods
may cause deterioration and shrinkage.
When parking the car under direct sunlight
for long periods, shade the interior using
sunshades.

Do not leave vinyl products on the leather
upholstery for long periods. They may
affect the leather quality and coloring. If
the cabin temperature becomes hot, the
vinyl may deteriorate and adhere to the
