To protect the convertible top: After you wash the vehicle, make sure the top is completely dry before you lower it. 0 NOTICE: If you have aluminum wheels, don't use an automatic vehicle wash that has hard silicon carbide cleaning brushes. These brushes can take off the protective coating your aluminum wheels. Don't get any cleaner on the vehicle's painted finish; it could leave streaks. If you decide to go through an automatic car wash, ask the manager if the equipment could damage your top. Before entering a carwash, set the climate control to VENT and the fan control to the highest speed. This will help to prevent water under high pressure from entering around the convertible top. Tires To clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a tire cleaner. When applying a tire dressing always care to wipe take off any overspray or splash from paintsd surfaces. Petroleum-based products may damage the paint finish. Aluminum Wheels (IfSo Equipped) Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted surface of your vehicle.
