In harsh environmental conditions, periodic supplementary pro-
tective treatments to the box sections and door interiors are
recommended.
These treatments must be done with special products and
techniques, and so should be left to experts. It should be done
at least every two years, and, in more severe cases, annually,
preferably at the beginning of winter.
Car Interior
The maintenance of the passenger compartment is no less im-
portant than that of the exterior. The same care should be
devoted to it.
Check to see that there is no standing water under the mats or
floor lining, as this could cause rusting. Dust the seats and
cloth parts with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
To remove grease spots use petroleum ether or light gasoline,
apply talc and brush off.
To clean seats in imitation leather, use a damp sponge and a
neutral or bland soap. Rinse several times with a clean damp
sponge.
While cleaning perforated seat covers, be particularly careful
that water does not seep through the holes to the padding.
