Maintaining 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:

•

The vehicle is washed without first

rinsing off dirt and other foreign

matter.

•

The vehicle is washed with a rough,

dry, or dirty cloth.

•

The vehicle is washed at a car wash

that uses brushes that are dirty or too

stiff.

•

Cleansers or wax containing abrasives

are used.

To minimize scratches on the vehicle’s

paint finish:

•

Rinse off any dirt or other foreign

matter using lukewarm or cold water

before washing.

•

Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water

and a soft cloth when washing the

vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.

•

Rub gently when washing or drying the

vehicle.

•

Take your vehicle only to a car wash

that keeps its brushes well maintained.

•

Don’t use abrasive cleansers or wax

that contain abrasives.

Exterior Care

NOTE

•

Mazda is not responsible for

scratches caused by automatic car

washes or improper washing.

•

Scratches are more noticeable on

vehicles with darker paint finishes.

•

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.

•

To prevent damaging the antenna,

remove it before entering a car wash

facility or passing beneath a low

overhead clearance.

CAUTION
