The following products will ensure glass

surfaces and windscreen wipers are kept

in good condition:
Jaguar Screen Clean Paste – Apply to the

exterior of the windscreen only to ensure

effective operation of the windscreen

wiper.
Jaguar Glass Cleaner – Interior and

exterior of all other glass surfaces.
Jaguar Screen Wash – Washer reservoir

additive.
Jaguar Winter Care Kit comprising

de-icer, ice scraper, anti-mist wipe cloth

and aerial cleaner – for use in adverse

weather conditions.
Note:
1. Renew the wiper blades when worn to

prevent scratching. Clean the rubber

wiper blades regularly with a mild

detergent solution.

2. It is advisable to clean the windscreen

with Jaguar Screen Clean Paste at

regular intervals.

Cleaning the rear screen
To avoid damaging the heating and radio

elements when cleaning the inside of the

rear screen use only a soft damp cloth or

chamois leather. Do not use solvents or

sharp objects to clean the glass.

Polishing paintwork and chromium
plating
For maximum protection against road

dust, salts, industrial fall-out etc., it is

recommended that the vehicle is polished

regularly using Jaguar Polish, Chrome

Polish and a Polishing Cloth.

Paint chips
Scratches and chips should be touched in

before weathering action begins. Inspect

the paintwork immediately after the

vehicle has been washed.

Underbonnet cleaning
Underbonnet cleaning using high

pressure hoses or steam cleaners should

be done by a Jaguar Dealer.

Indiscriminate use of cleaning equipment

could damage or contaminate the

electronic control modules and fuse

boxes.

Care of alloy road wheels

The alloy road wheels are covered with a

protective anti-corrosion coating. To

prevent corrosion it is essential that this

coating is not damaged.
When removing or fitting tyres always

advise the tyre fitter to treat the alloy

wheels with great care and to only use

equipment with spigot or stud hole

clamping. The equipment must not have

any moving parts which contact the

wheel, and tyre levers must not be used.
Wash the wheels with soap and water at

two week intervals to avoid an

accumulation of particles which could

become embedded in the wheel surface.

In salty conditions the wheels should be

cleaned weekly.
In compliance with German Road Traffic

Law the size of the wheel rims is stamped

or cast on all wheels.
