Vehicle Care
Washing
Warning: Washing and polishing agents containing silicone should not be applied to glass. This will reduce the efficiency of the windscreen wipers, causing smears which will reduce visibility, particularly during darkness and in the rain.
Caution: Commercially operated automatic vehicle washes, jet washes and power operated mops are not recommended. The detergents used can contain certain chemicals which may, over time, be detrimental to some exterior parts of the vehicle. Prolonged usage of automatic vehicle washes and power operated mops will also cause fine scratches in the paint surface.
Aston Martin are able to supply a range of products to clean and protect your vehicle. Contact you Aston Martin Dealer for further information.
During the winter months, it is advisable to wash the vehicle more frequently, paying particular attention to the underside to combat the detrimental effects of any salt and sand contamination picked up from treated roads.
To delay the onset of corrosion developing on the brake components, Aston Martin recommend that after washing this vehicle, the vehicle should be driven a short distance to make sure that all water and cleaning products have dried off.
In comparison to conventional paints with a gloss or metallic surface, satin paint work must be cared for slightly differently. In order to avoid damage to the satin paint work, make sure that the cleaning and care points below are followed:
- Only use cleaning products recommended by Aston Martin. Abrasive cleaning products will change the satin appearance of the paint and must not be used.
- Do not polish or wax the paintwork. This can lead to glossing of the paintwork.
- Do not wash the car in an automatic car wash. This will avoid particles such as sand and dust, from damaging the painted surface.
- Only use a soft sponge to clean the vehicle. Do not use abrasive cleaning tools.
- Remove insect remains, bird droppings, resins, tar spots, fuels and oil immediately. Avoid strong rubbing while cleaning the vehicle.
- Any stickers applied to the paint work will leave a mark when removed.
- Repairs to the paint work must be completed by an Aston Martin category A or B body shop.
Off-Road Use
If this vehicle has been used to drive in off road environments additional cleaning may be required, such as under the body to make sure all mud, salt and other contaminants are removed. This will help protect the vehicle paintwork, under-body and external components such as the parking sensors and trailer electrical connection points.
Alternator
Caution: Do not use a high pressure stream such as a pressure washer to rinse the alternator. This can cause internal damage to the alternator.
If the alternator is submerged in muddy water, it should be rinsed with a hose or similar to remove any mud. Mud and salt residue can corrode and damage the internal windings. The vehicle should then be driven to dry the alternator.
Underbody Protection
The underbody of this vehicle is protected with sacrificial protective panels. Consult your dealer for inspection and repair as necessary, especially after sustained off-road use or if the underside of the vehicle been damaged.
Upholstery, Trim, Carpets and Seats
Warning: Fumes from cleaning solvents may be dangerous in confined spaces. Make sure that the vehicle is well ventilated and follow the manufacturer’s printed instructions when using these products.
Caution: Certain types of clothing, such as denim and vegetable tanned leather, are prone to ‘dye transfer’. This can cause discolouration in the leather. Make sure that the affected areas are cleaned and re-protected as soon as possible.
The seats and soft trimmed components of this vehicle are covered in natural leather hide. In general, this natural leather upholstery requires little attention. The seats should be brushed with a soft brush from time to time and may be cleaned occasionally with a cloth damped in soap and water.
Do not use detergents, quick cleansers or furniture polishes. These products may initially give an impressive result, but their use will lead to rapid deterioration of the leather and will invalidate the warranty.
Several times a year, a leather conditioner or preservative should be used. Appropriate care materials are obtainable from your Aston Martin Dealer.
Use a soft microfibre cloth to remove dust and loose dirt from open pore wood trim panels.
Alcantara®1 roof linings and other soft trimmed areas may be brushed with a soft brush. Stains from water based substances such as coffee, tea or soft drinks should be cleaned as soon as possible with mild soap and water.
Consult your Aston Martin Dealer for instructions on the removal of more difficult stains such as oil, grease or ballpoint ink.
Carpets should be cleaned regularly with a vacuum cleaner. Any stains or grease marks should be removed with a good quality solvent suitable for use on carpets.
Care and Maintenance of Seat Belts
Caution: Do not allow seat belts to be retracted until they are completely dry.
To make sure that the restraint webbings are in correct working order, regularly check the seat belts. Look for fraying, cuts, burns and similar problems. Make sure that the latches and buckles operate correctly. If a seat belt is not in good condition or is not working correctly, consult your Aston Martin Dealer.
Any seat belt that has been worn during a serious collision should be replaced by an Aston Martin Dealer.
To clean the seat belts, use mild soap and water; do not use bleach, solvents or dyes, as they can weaken the material. Allow the seat belts to dry thoroughly before use.
