Give special attention to the removal of
salt, mud and other substances on the
underside of the splashboards of the car.
Make sure that the outlets and the under-
side of the doors are open. Paint damage
can be caused by small accumulation of
tar, industrial precipitation, tree resin, in-
sects and bird droppings, when not re-
moved immediately. If water alone is not
strong enough to remove the accumulated
dirt, use a mild car washing solution. Be
sure to rinse the surface after washing to
remove the solution. Never allow the solu-
tion to dry on the painted surfaces.

CAUTION:
To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and water.
To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels, use
a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not
use abrasive cleaners. Protect the bare-
metal surfaces by cleaning, polishing and
waxing. Because aluminum is subject to
corrosion, be sure to give aluminum alloy
wheels special attention in winter. If you
drive on salted roads, clean the wheels
thoroughly afterwards.
