VECTRIX ZEV OWNER’S MANUAL 39
WASHING YOUR VECTRIX
As with any vehicle it is important that you wash
your Vectrix on a regular basis to keep the finish
in good condition. Never use harsh detergents or
abrasive cloths on your Vectrix.
When washing your Vectrix, follow the instructions
below:
Remove dirt and mud from your Vectrix with running
water. You may use a soft sponge or brush. Do not
use hard materials which can scratch the paint.
Wash the entire Vectrix with a mild detergent or car
wash soap using a sponge or cloth. The sponge or
soft cloth should be frequently soaked in the soap
solution.
CLEANING
CAUTION
When cleaning, you should avoid using a pressure
washer or high pressure water unit. These units
could damage your Vectrix.
NOTE!
Avoid spraying or allowing water to flow over the
following places:
• Ignition Switch
• Break master cylinders
WAXING YOUR VECTRIX
After washing your Vectrix, waxing and polishing are
recommended to further protect and beautify the
paint.
Only use waxes and polishes of good quality.
When using waxes and polishes, observe the
precautions specified by the manufacturer.

Once the dirt has been completely removed, rinse off
the detergent with running water.
After rinsing, wipe off your Vectrix with a wet
chamois or clean cloth (clean cloths will minimize
scratching) and allow it to dry in the shade.
Check carefully for damage to painted surfaces. If
there is any damage, obtain “touch-up” paint and
“touch up” the damage.
WINDSHIELD CLEANING
Clean the windshield with a soft cloth and warm
water with a mild detergent. If scratched, polish with
a commercially available plastic polish. Replace the
windshield if it becomes scratched or discolored so
as to obstruct view. When replacing the windshield,
use a replacement windshield from Vectrix.
CAUTION
Cleaning with any alkaline or strong acid cleaner,
gasoline, brake fluid, alcohol or any other solvent
will damage the windshield.
Clean only with a soft cloth and warm water with
a mild detergent.
WARNING
Wet brakes can cause poor braking performance
and may lead to an accident.
Avoid a possible accident by expecting longer
stopping distances after washing your Vectrix.
Apply brakes several times to let heat dry the
brake pads or shoes.
NOTE!
Always allow your Vectrix to fully dry before using
it.
