IMPORTANT The vehicle should be

washed with the engine cold and the igni-

tion key turned to STOP. After washing

make sure that the various protections

(e.g. rubber caps and recess covers) have

not been damaged or removed.

When drying off take particular care to

cover the less visible parts like the bonnet

and boot lids and around the headlights

where water may stagnate. The vehicle

should not be taken to an enclosed area

immediately but left in the open so that

the residual water can evaporate. Do not

wash the vehicle after it has been left in

the sun or when the bonnet is hot as this

may alter the shine of the paintwork.

Plastic parts must be cleaned in the same

way as the rest of the vehicle. Specific

products need only be used when dirt is

particularly resistant.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be

washed off immediately as the acid con-

tained in them is particularly aggressive.

To better protect the paint, occasionally

polish with special products (silicone

wax) which leave a protective layer on

the body.

WINDOWS

Use specific products to clean the win-

dows. Clean cloths should be used to

avoid scratching or altering the trans-

parency of the glass.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT

At the end of the winter the engine

compartment should be carefully washed.

Contact a specialised workshop to have

this done.

The inside of the rear

windscreen should be

wiped gently with a

cloth in the direction of the fila-

ments to avoid damaging the

heating device.

Detergents cause water

pollution. The car should

therefore be washed in

areas equipped for the collection

and purification of the liquid used

in the washing processes.

For washing the engine

compartment, you are

recommended to use

“FULCRON” available in Alfa

Romeo Lineaccessori. In any

case, only use soda-free deter-

gent solutions preferably alka-

lined with metasilicates.After

washing the engine compartment

it must be accurately rinsed with

a specific operation and dried. In

fact the normal passage of the

body washing tunnel is unable to

rinse the engine compartment

adequately.
