To ensure that you enjoy your INFINITI to the fullest, we encourage you to read this Owner's Manual immediately.

In the following cases, please wash your vehicle as soon as possible to protect the paint surface. After a rainfall After driving on coastal roads When things such as soot, bird droppings, tree sap, metal particles or bugs get on the paint surface When dust or mud builds up on the surface Whenever possible, store or park your vehicle inside a garage or in a covered area. When it is necessary to park outside, park in a shady area or protect the vehicle with a body cover. Be careful not to scratch the paint surface when putting on or removing the body cover. Avoid leaving water spots on the paint surface by using a damp chamois to dry the vehicle. Washing Thoroughly rinse surface dirt off the vehicle with a wet sponge and plenty of clean water. Clean the vehicle thoroughly using a mild soap such as INFINITI Car Wash, or a detergent (a general purpose dish-washing liquid) mixed with clean, lukewarm (never hot) water. Inside flanges, seams and folds on the doors, hatches and hood are particularly vulnerable to the effects of road salt. Make sure that the drain holes in the lower edge of the door are open. Spray water under the body 6-2 CAUTION Do not use strong household soap, strong chemical detergents, gasoline or solvents. Do not wash the vehicle under the hot sun, as the surface may become water-spotted. Care must be taken when removing caked-on dirt or other foreign substances so that the paint surface is not scratched or damaged. APPEARANCE AND CARE Waxing Regular waxing protects the paint surface and helps retain new vehicle appearance. After waxing, polishing is recommended to remove built-up residue and to avoid a ``weathered'' appearance. Do not use a wax containing any abrasives, cutting compounds or cleaners that may damage the vehicle finish. If the surface does not polish easily, use a ``road tar'' remover and wax again. Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish may dull the finish or leave swirl marks. 6-3 Removing spots Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible from the paint surface to avoid lasting damage or staining.
