qMaintaining the Finish

Washing

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:

l

The vehicle is washed without first

rinsing off dirt and other foreign

matter.

l

The vehicle is washed with a rough,

dry, or dirty cloth.

l

The vehicle is washed at a car wash

that uses brushes that are dirty or too

stiff.

l

Cleansers or wax containing abrasives

are used.

NOTE

l

Mazda is not responsible for

scratches caused by automatic car

washes or improper washing.

l

Scratches are more noticeable on

vehicles with darker paint finishes.

To minimize scratches on the vehicle's

paint finish:

l

Rinse off any dirt or other foreign

matter using lukewarm or cold water

before washing.

l

Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water

and a soft cloth when washing the

vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.

l

Rub gentl y when washing or drying the

vehicle.

l

Take your vehicle only to a car wash

that keeps its brushes well maintained.

l

Don't use abrasive cleansers or wax

that contain abrasives.

CAUTION

Don't 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.

Pay speci al 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. Don't allow soap

to dry on the finish.
