Vehicle Cleaning
•
Observe all caution labels
• Always read directions on the
container before using any product
• Do not use any solution that can
damage the body paint
• Most chemical cleaners are
concentrates that require dilution
• Only use spot removing fluids in
well ventilated areas
•
Any vehicle is subjected to
deterioration from multiple causes
(i.e. industrial fumes, ice, snow,
corrosive road salt, etc.,)
Exterior and Engine Compartment
Corrosive materials used to remove ice,
snow and dust from the road can collect on
the entire vehicle with concentrated
accumulations throughout the underbody
and engine compartment. If these
materials are not removed, accelerated
corrosion (rust) can occur on underbody
parts such as fuel lines, frame rails, floor
pan, electrical and exhaust system, even
though they have been provided with
corrosion protection.
At least every spring, flush these materials
from the entire vehicle, including the
underbody and engine compartment, with
plain water using light water pressure. On
vehicles used in applications and/or areas
that experience high usage of, or exposure
to, corrosive materials, cleaning of the
entire vehicle should be done more
frequently. If desired, your dealer can do
this service for you.
