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 industrial fumes,
ice, snow, corrosive road salt, etc.,
to name just a few causes.
Exterior
Wash painted surfaces frequently to
remove grime and caustic deposits which
may stain the finish.
To prevent rust, keep chromed parts clean
and protected with wax at all times,
especially in winter conditions where the
roads are salted.
• If necessary, use a commercial
chrome cleaner to remove light rust.
• Chrome surfaces are best cleaned
with fresh water. Wipe dry to
preserve their luster. A commercial
chrome cleaner will remove light
rust. After cleaning, wax flat
surfaces and apply a thin coat of
rust preventive lubricant around
bolts or other fasteners.
• Clean aluminum wheels and
bumpers with warm water. Tar
