VEHICLE CLEANING AND CARE
Vehicle Cleaning
To reduce the possibility of severe injury or vehicle damage, read and understand all instructions
supplied by manufacturer of pressure washer.
When pressure washing exterior of vehicle, do not use pressure in excess of 700 psi. To reduce the possibility of
cosmetic damage, do not use any abrasive or reactive solvents to clean plastic parts.
It is important that proper techniques and cleaning materials be used. Using excessive water pressure may cause
severe injury to operator or bystander, damage to seals, plastics, seat material, body finish or electrical system. Do
not use pressure in excess of 700 psi to wash exterior of vehicle.
Clean windshield with lots of water and a clean cloth. Minor scratches may be removed using a commercial plastic
polish or Plexus
®
plastic cleaner available from the service parts department.
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 products 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 materi-
als will cause corrosion of underbody parts unless flushed occasionally with plain water. Thoroughly clean any areas
where mud or other debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed areas should be loosened to ease it’s removal,
taking care not to chip or otherwise damage paint.
