Caring for External Chrome
Components
NOTE: Chrome components are optional on the
eCascadia.
To prevent rust, keep chrome parts clean and
protected at all times. This is especially important
during winter driving and in coastal areas where
there is exposure to salt air.
When cleaning chrome parts, use clean water and a
soft cloth or sponge. A mild detergent may also be
used.
Sponge gently, then rinse. If necessary, use a non-
abrasive chrome cleaner to remove stubborn rust or
other material. Do not use steel wool.
To help protect the chrome after cleaning, apply a
coat of polishing wax to the surface. Never use wax
on parts that are exposed to high heat, such as
exhaust pipes.
Care of Fiberglass Parts
Wash any fiberglass components monthly with a mild
detergent, such as dishwashing liquid. Avoid strong
alkaline cleansers.
Apply a wax specifically designed for fiberglass.
