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.

Polishing and Waxing
Always wash and dry the car before polish-
ing or waxing or using a combination
cleaner and wax. Use a good quality com-
mercial product and follow the
manufacturer's directions on the container.
Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as
well as the paint.

Spot Cleaning
Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or cor-
rosive cleaning agents. These can dam-
age 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 commer-
cial car-cleaning polish.
After rinsing, dry the car using a damp
chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The rea-
son for drying the car is to remove water
from the car so it will dry without water
spots. Don't rub, this can damage the fin-
ish.
If you find any nicks or scratches in the
paint, use touch-up paint to cover them to
prevent corrosion. To protect the paintwork
of the car against corrosion, you must
clean your Hyundai (at least once a month).
Give special attention
to the removal of salt, mud and other sub-
stances on the underside of the
splashboards of the car. Make sure that the
outlets and the underside of the doors are
open. Paint damage can be caused by
small accumulation of tar, industrial pre-
cipitation, tree resin, insects and bird drop-
pings, when not removed immediately. If
water alone is not strong enough to re-
move the accumulated dirt, use a mild car
washing solution. Be sure to rinse the
surface after washing to remove the solu-
tion. Never allow the solution to dry on the
painted surfaces.
