Appearance Care
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 115.
Aluminum may corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt.
Clean the wheels after driving through any of these substances. Use
a wet sponge and mild detergent. Avoid stiff brushes, steel wool, or
cleaners containing abrasives or chemical compounds.
After washing, rinse with plenty of water and dry with a clean cloth.
Do not use wax or polishing compounds on matte painted surface.
Refer to Safety Precautions on page 115.
The exhaust pipe and muffler are stainless steel but may become
stained by mud or dust. Make sure no flammable materials or debris
are sticking to the exhaust system. If any flammable materials or
debris is found, remove it.
To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and a liquid kitchen
abrasive, then rinse well with clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft
towel.
If necessary, remove heat stains by using a commercially available
fine texture compound. Then rinse by the same manner as removing
mud or dust.
