CLEANING OUTSIDE OF WINDSHIELD
If your windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if
the wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be
on the blade or windshield.
The windshield wipers on your truck can be pulled out from the
windshield to provide easier access for cleaning.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a non-abrasive cleaner.
Your windshield is clean if beads do not form when rinsing with water.
Clean the blade by wiping with a cloth soaked in a solution of one-
half water and one-half methanol alcohol. Then rinse the blade with
water.
CARE AND CLEANING OF EXTERIOR
EXTERIOR FINISH
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color,
gloss retention and durability.
NOTICE: While cleaning the vehicle, do not grip the roof marker
lights to prevent damage or water leakage.
Washing Your Vehicle
The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by
washing it often. Wash the vehicle in lukewarm or cold water.
Do not use hot water or wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the
sun. Do not use strong soap or chemical detergents. All cleaning
agents should be flushed promptly from the surface and not allowed to
dry on the finish.
Isuzu vehicles are designed to operate under normal environmental
conditions to withstand natural elements. However, unusual conditions
such as high-pressure car washers may cause water to enter inside
the vehicle.
Polishing and Waxing
Periodic polishing and waxing is recommended to remove built-up
residue and eliminate any “weathered” appearance.
Your authorized dealer offers several polishes and cleaners which
have proven value in maintaining original finish appearance and
durability.
Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts
Bright metal parts should be cleaned regularly to keep their luster.
Washing with water is all that is usually needed.
Use special care with aluminum trim. To avoid damaging protective
trim, never use auto or chrome polish, steam or caustic soap to clean
aluminum. A coating of wax, rubbed to a high polish, is recommended
for all bright metal parts.
