Lincoln Aviator: Vehicle Care / Waxing

Regular waxing is necessary to protect your car's paint from the elements. We recommend that you wash and wax the painted surface once or twice a year.

When washing and waxing, park your vehicle in a shaded area out of direct sunlight. Always wash your vehicle before applying wax.

Use a quality wax that does not contain abrasives.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to apply and remove the wax.
Apply a small amount of wax in a back-and-forth motion, not in circles.
Do not allow wax to come in contact with any non-body (low-gloss black) colored trim. The wax will discolor or stain the parts over time.
- Roof racks.
- Bumpers.
- Grained door handles.
- Side moldings.
- Mirror housings.
- Windshield cowl area.
Do not apply wax to glass areas.
After waxing, your car's paint should feel smooth, and be free of streaks and smudges.
