Even if a wax solution is used regularly at the car wash, Volkswagen
recommends applying a coat of hard wax at least twice a year to pro-
tect the paint.
Polishing
Polish your vehicle if the paint has lost its shine and the gloss cannot
be brought back with wax.
The vehicle must be waxed after polishing if the polish used does not
contain wax compounds to seal the paint.
NOTICE
To help prevent damage, do not use hard wax or polish on
matte-finished parts, plastic parts, headlights or rear lights.
Do not wax or polish your vehicle if it is dirty, or in a sandy or
dusty place.
