Care

118

Contamination on the paint fin-

ish is particularly easy to see

after the motorcycle as been

washed. Remove stains of this

kind immediately using clean-

ing-grade benzene or petro-

leum spirit on a clean cloth or

ball of cotton wool. We recom-

mend that specks of tar be

removed with BMW tar

remover. Then add a protec-

tive wax coating to the paint at

these locations.

Protective wax coating

For the protective wax coating

of paint, we recommend that

you use only BMW vehicle wax

or agents that contain car-

nauba wax or synthetic waxes.

The best way to see whether

the paint has to be protected

is that water no longer forms

pearls.

Touching up

Your authorized BMW motor-

cycle retailer is equipped with

suitable systems for rapid and

low-cost correction of minor

paint damage. We recom-

mend that minor paintwork

flaws be rectified with a BMW

paint spray or a BMW paint

pencil and larger paint dam-

age be dealt with at your

authorized BMW motorcycle

retailer by a specialized repair

paint job carried out in accor-

dance with works specifica-

tions with original

BMW paints.

Rubber

Treat rubber components with

water or BMW rubber protec-

tion coating agent.

Using silicone sprays for

the care of rubber seals

can cause damage.

Do not use silicone sprays or

other care products that con-

tain silicone.c

Storing
