You should repair paintwork damage

tree sap, insect deposits, tar spots, road  
salt and industrial fallout before repairing  
paint chips.

pressurized stream of water when you  
have completed the cleaning process.  
We recommend that you use Ford service

and follow the manufacturers instructions.  
Using other non-recommended cleaning  
products can result in severe and  
permanent cosmetic damage.  
Always read and follow the manufacturers  
instructions before using the products.

WHEELS  
Note: Do not apply a cleaning chemical to  
warm or hot wheel rims and covers.  
Note: Industrial-strength (heavy-duty)  
cleaners, or cleaning chemicals, in  
combination with brush agitation to remove  
brake dust and dirt, could wear away the  
clear coat finish over a period of time.  
Note: Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based  
or high caustic-based wheel cleaners, steel  
wool, fuels or strong household detergent.
