MAINTENANCE
From time to time, but particularly during winter months
when salt has been used on the roads, use a hose to wash
the underside of the car. Flush away accumulations of mud
and thoroughly clean those areas where debris can easily
collect (wheel arches and panel seams, for example).

Please pay attention to the operating instructions of
high pressure cleaner.
Soft parts on the vehicle should be kept in a large
enough distance from the high pressure cleaner.

Avoid cleaning the vehicle in direct sunlight.
When cleaning the vehicle in winter avoid spraying
water directly onto door locks and panel gaps due
to risk of icing.
After washing, examine the paintwork for damage. If the
damage has revealed bare metal, use a colored primer first,
then apply the correct colour base coat and finish off with
a lacquer pencil, if appropriate. Carry out this treatment
after washing but before polishing or waxing. More
extensive damage to paint or bodywork must be repaired
in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Failure to do this will invalidate the Anti-Corrosion
Warranty. If in doubt, ask your MG Authorised Repairer.

•
Do not use rough sponges or cloth to clean the car,
this will damage the paintwork finish.
When cleaning the headlamps do not use a dry cloth
or sponge, use only warm soapy water.

Cleaning with High Pressure Cleaner
Always read the manufacturers operating instructions.
Polishing the Paintwork
When using high pressure washers, always ensure there is
adequate distance between the spray nozzle and any soft
materials, decals or rubber seals.
DO NOT use car polish containing coarse
abrasives – these will remove the paint film
and damage the gloss finish.
