Normal cleaning of vinyl seats and plastic or rubber trim
requires the use of a mild soap solution applied with a
sponge or soft brush and wipe with a damp cloth.
Removal of oil, tar, asphalt, shoe polish, etc. will require
the use of a commercially available vinyl/rubber cleaner.
The painted surfaces of the vehicle provide attractive
appearance and durable protection. Frequent washing
with lukewarm or cold water and mild detergent is
required to preserve the painted surfaces.
Occasional cleaning and waxing with non-abrasive prod-
ucts designed for 'clear coat' automotive finishes will
enhance the appearance and durability of the painted
surfaces.
Corrosive materials used as fertilizers or for dust control
can collect on the underbody of the vehicle. These mate-
rials will cause corrosion of underbody parts unless
flushed occasionally with plain water. Thoroughly clean
any areas where mud or other debris can collect. Sedi-
ment packed in closed areas should be loosened to ease
it's removal, taking care not to chip or otherwise damage
paint.
If the engine does not start or runs improperly
after washing, remove the spark plug wires (by
pulling the spark plug boots, never the wires). Dry all connec-
tions with forced air. Reinstall the wires.
