Infiniti QX: Washing
Wash dirt off the vehicle with a wet sponge and plenty of water. Clean the vehicle thoroughly using a mild soap, a special vehicle soap or general purpose dishwashing liquid mixed with clean, lukewarm (never hot) water.
CAUTION
► Do not use car washes that use acid in
the detergent. Some car washes, especially
brushless ones, use some acid for
cleaning. The acid may react with some
plastic vehicle components, causing
them to crack. This could affect their
appearance, and also could cause them
not to function properly. Always check
with your car wash to confirm that acid
is not used.
► Do not wash the vehicle with strong
household soap, strong chemical detergents,
gasoline or solvents.
► Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight
or while the vehicle body is hot, as
the surface may become water-spotted.
► Avoid using tight-napped or rough
cloths, such as washing mitts. Care
must be taken when removing caked-on
dirt or other foreign substances so the
paint surface is not scratched or damaged.
Rinse the vehicle again with plenty of clean water. Inside flanges, seams and folds on the doors, hatches and hood are particularly vulnerable to the effects of road salt. Therefore, these areas must be regularly cleaned. Make sure that the drain holes in the lower edge of the door are open. Spray water under the body and in the wheel wells to loosen the dirt and wash away road salt. Avoid leaving water spots on the paint surface by using a damp chamois to dry the vehicle.
