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.
