Wash your Jazz!
« on: August 19, 2026, 08:39:28 PM »
With the current drought conditions we are experiencing, I did not wash my Jazz for a couple of months. Last week,  the ACC warning & the CMBS warning symbols both appeared on the display. This was caused by dirt on the cameras/radar/sensors. However, simply washing the car did not resolve this. I had to purchase an OBD11 scanner to clear the fault codes to remove the warnings from the display. Lessen learned. Water shortage or not, keep your Jazz clean!

I regularly clean my Jazz's windows but the rest of the vehicle is rarely cleaned between the washing it gets as part of the annual service.

I’m the same as John R above. We have now had a little rain which has taken the rough off!

Mine has been completely covered in Sahara sand for the last few weeks, but I always kept the windscreen clean if not the paintwork.
The last couple of days though has seen a bit of rain, enough to remove most of the Sahara sand.

I recently learned a good trick for when you've cleaned your car.
Whilst it's still wet, use your garden vac on "blow" to get rid of the drips that can end up leaving marks or streaks. It will also  remove most of the water from within the cut lines which could then help to prevent future rust.
