Question

What should I know about waxing my vehicle?

Answer

Polishing and waxing is recommended to maintain the original beauty of your Toyota’s finish. Wax should be applied once a month or if water no longer beads on the vehicle surface. Please follow the recommendations below:

* Always wash and dry the vehicle before you begin waxing, even if you are using a combined cleaner and wax.

* Use a pure carnuba wax with no abrasives. If the finish has become dull in appearance, use a car-cleaning polish, followed by a separate wax. Be sure to polish and wax the chrome trim as well as the paint.

* Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions.

Please refer to your owner's manual for additional details.
