Remove particles such as bird droppings, tree sap, insect deposits, tar
spots, road salt and industrial fallout before repairing paint chips.

Always read the instructions before using the products.

ALUMINUM WHEELS AND COVERS

Aluminum wheel rims or covers are coated with a clearcoat paint finish.
In order to maintain their shine:

Clean with One Step Wash and Wax Concentrate, which is available
from your authorized Mazda dealer.

Never apply any cleaning chemical to hot or warm wheel rims or
covers.

Some automatic car washes may cause damage to the finish on your
wheel rims or covers. Chemical-strength cleaners, or cleaning
chemicals, in combination with brush agitation to remove brake dust
and dirt, could wear away the clearcoat finish over time.

Do not use hydrofluoric acid-based or high caustic-based wheel
cleaners, steel wool, fuels or strong household detergent.

To remove tar and grease, use Extra Strength Tar and Road Oil
Removal, available from your authorized Mazda dealer.

ENGINE

Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal. When washing:

Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.

Never spray the engine or other engine components with water. Water
will damage the engine or other engine components.

Spray Engine Shampoo and Degreaser, available at your authorized
Mazda dealer, on all parts that require cleaning and pressure rinse
clean.

Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning
the engine.
