Regular waxing protects the paint surface and helps retain new vehicle appearance. Polishing is recommended to remove builtup wax residue and to avoid a weathered appearance before reapplying wax. An INFINITI retailer can assist you in choosing the proper product.

► Wax your vehicle only after a thorough washing. Follow the instructions supplied with the wax.
► Do not use a wax containing any abrasives, cutting compounds or cleaners that may damage the vehicle finish. Machine compound or aggressive polishing on a base coat/clear coat paint finish may dull the finish or leave swirl marks.
