When to Wax Again
You should polish and wax the car again when
water no longer beads on a clean surface but
spreads out over a larger area.

Maintaining Bumpers
Special precautions must be observed to pre-
serve the appearance of the bumpers on your
Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or
hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you
do, wash it off immediately with clear water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur-
faces. They are made of soft plastic and the
surface can be damaged if mistreated. Do not
use abrasive cleaners. Use warm water and
mild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem-
peratures. For example, if you have your car
repainted, do not leave the bumpers on the
car if the car is going to be placed in a high-
temperature paint booth.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR
To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery
To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose
dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then apply
a solution of mild soap or detergent and water
using a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this to
stay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipe
with a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirt
stains are not removed, repeat this procedure
until the upholstery is clean. Do not use gasoline,
solvent, paint thinner or other strong cleaners.

Spot Cleaning
Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive
cleaning agents. These can damage the finish of
the car. To remove road tar, use turpentine on a
clean, soft cloth. Be gentle.
To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm
water and mild soap or car-washing solution.
Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lost
its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish.

Polishing and Waxing
Always wash and dry the car before polishing or
waxing or using a combination cleaner and wax.
Use a good quality commercial product and
follow the manufacturer's directions on the con-
tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as
well as the paint.

To Clean the Leather Upholstery
(If Installed)
In the normal course of use, leather upholstered
surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust and
dirt. This dust and dirt must be cleaned off or it
may work into the surface of the leather, causing
damage.
Fine leather needs care, and should be cleaned
when necessary. Washing leather thoroughly
with soap and water will keep your leather lus-
trous, beautiful and ensure you have many years
of wear.
Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mild
soap and lukewarm water, work up a good lather.
Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe clean with a
slightly damp cloth and dry with soft cloth. Do this
as often as the leather becomes soiled.
sure that the outlets and the underside of the
doors are open. Paint damage can be caused by
small accumulation of tar, industrial precipita-
tion, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, when
not removed immediately. If water alone is not
strong enough to remove the accumulated dirt,
use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinse
the surface after washing to remove the solution.
Never allow the solution to dry on the painted
surfaces.
