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 pres-
sure 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 materials 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.
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 connections with forced air. Reinstall the wires.
