ALLOY WHEELS
Clean your Acura's aluminum alloy wheels as you do
the rest of the exterior. Only use a mild, non-antibacterial
detergent and soft brush or sponge to clean the wheels,
and rinse them thoroughly. The wheels have a protective
clear-coat that keeps the aluminum from corroding and
tarnishing. Using harsh chemicals, including some com-
mercial wheel cleaners, or stiff brushes can damage this
clear-coat.
CARPETS
Vacuum the carpeting frequently to remove dirt. Use a
foam-type carpet cleaner. Follow the instructions that
come with the cleaner, applying it with a sponge or soft
brush. Keep the carpeting as dry as possible by not adding
water to the foam.
SEAT BELTS
If your seat belts get dirty, you can use a soft brush with
a mixture of mild non-antibacterial soap and warm water to
clean them.
Do not use bleach, dye, or cleaning solvents.
They can weaken the belt material. Let the belts air-dry
before you use the car. You can use a clothes pin or binder
clip fastener to keep the belt extended until it dries.
F ABRICS
Vacuum dirt and dust out of the material frequently.
For general cleaning, use a solution of mild soap and luke-
warm water, letting it air dry. To clean off hard to remove
spots, use a commercially available fabric cleaner. Test it
on a hidden area of fabric first, to make sure it does not
bleach or stain the fabric. Follow the instructions that
come with the cleaner.
VINYL SURFACES
Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Wipe
the vinyl with a soft cloth dampened in a solution of
mild soap and water. Use the same solution with a soft-
bristle brush on more difficult spots. You can also use
commercially available spray or foam-type vinyl cleaners.
WINDOWS
Clean the windows, inside and out, with a commercially
available glass cleaner. You can also use a mixture of one
part white vinegar to ten parts water. This will remove the
haze that builds up on the inside of the windows. Use a
soft cloth or paper towels to clean all glass and clear plastic
surfaces. The rear window defogger wires are bonded to
the inside of the glass. Wiping vigorously up and down
can dislodge and break the defogger wires. When cleaning
the window, use gentle pressure and wipe side to side.
