After washing the vehicle, dry it with a

clean chamois to prevent water spots from

forming.

WARNING

Driving with Wet Brakes:

Driving with wet brakes is dangerous .

Increased stopping distance or the

vehicle pulling to one side when

braking could result in a serious

accident. Light braking will indicate

whether the brakes have been affected.

Dry the brakes by driving very slowly

and applying the brakes lightly until

brake performance is normal.

Waxing

Your vehicle needs to be waxed when

water no longer beads on the finish.

Always wash and dry the vehicle before

waxing it. In addition to the vehicle body,

wax the metal trim to maintain its luster.

1. Use wax which contains no abrasives.

Waxes containing abrasive will remove

paint and could damage bright metal

parts.

2. Use a good grade of natural wax for

metallic, mica, and solid colors.

3. When waxing, coat evenly with the

sponge supplied or a soft cloth.

4. Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.

NOTE

A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and

similar materials will usually also take

off the wax. Rewax these areas even if

the rest of the vehicle doesn't need it.

qRepairing Damage to the Finish

Deep scratches or chips on the finish

should be repaired promptly. Exposed

metal quickly rusts and can lead to major

repairs.

CAUTION

If your Mazda is damaged and needs

metal parts repaired or replaced, make

sure the body shop applies anti -

corrosion materials to all parts, both

repaired and new. This will prevent

them from rusting.

qBright-Metal Maintenance

l

Use tar remover to remove road tar and

insects. Never do this with a knife or

similar tool.

l

To prevent corrosion on bright-metal

surfaces, apply wax or chrome

preservative and rub it to a high luster.

l

During cold weather or in coastal areas,

cover bright-metal parts with a coating

of wax or preservative heavier than

usual. It would also help to coat them

with noncorrosive petroleum jelly or

some other protective compound.

CAUTION

Don't use steel wool, abrasive cleaners,

or strong detergents containing highly

alkaline or caustic agents on chrome-

plated or anodized aluminum parts.

This may result in damage to the

protective coating and cause

discoloration or paint deterioration.
