The Owners Manual is a place of wonderful information.

I have been reading the PDF version of the manual in preparation of taking delivery of my big blue box.

 

Keeping the paint looking new is something I like to do so it's good to see that wax can be used.

 

Page 176 of the PDF Owners Manual

Vehicle Component : Paint

Facts of the Matter : No water droplets form on the paint

Remedy : Use hard wax (min. twice a year), apply wax to clean and dry body

 

But some cleaning products can be nasty nasty things so it's good to see this warning on the following page.

 

Page 177

CAUTION

Vehicle paint

- Do not treat painted parts with or hard waxes.

 

 

This seeming dichotomy had me confused. Then I figured it out.

I can't use hard wax on any painted surface of the car BUT I can use it on *my* clean and dry body. :-) And at a minimum of twice a year too!

Day Spa here I come.

Weird. Could be the plastic parts rather than the metal ones?

The thought of being waxed in a Spa fills me with horror........
