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 preserve the appearance of the
bumpers on your Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery elec-
trolyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the
bumpers. If you do, wash it off im-
mediately with clear water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper
surfaces. They are made of soft
plastic and the surface can be dam-
aged if mistreated. Do not use abra-
sive cleaners. Use warm water and
mild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high
temperatures. 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 re-
move 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 re-
moved, repeat this procedure until the
upholstery is clean. Do not use gaso-
line, 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 re-
move road tar, use turpentine on a
clean, soft cloth or commercially avail-
able bug and tar remover. 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.
E030C01A-AAT
Polishing and Waxing
Always wash and dry the car before
polishing or waxing or using a combi-
nation cleaner and wax. Use a good
quality commercial product and follow
the manufacturer's directions on the
container. 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
