When Cleaning the Interior
• Remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a soft cloth dampened
with warm water.
•
When cleaning carpet or cloth
interior, remove dirt and dust
with a vacuum cleaner. Apply
a foaming-type carpet cleaner
with a sponge or brush, allowing
cleaner to work for a few min-
utes to loosen dirt. Continue by
rubbing carpet or cloth interior
in a circular motion. Wipe off any
excess cleaner with a clean cloth.
If any dirt remains, repeat process.
Best results are obtained by
keeping carpet and cloth interior
as dry as possible.
•
When cleaning leather interior,
remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Using a sponge,
apply a small amount of neutral
wool detergent mixed in water,
rubbing in a circular motion.
Wipe off any excess detergent
and let leather dry in an open-air
location.
When Cleaning the Exterior
• Working from top to bottom,
apply lots of low-pressure water
to the body, wheel wells and
underside of vehicle to remove
dirt and dust. Wash the vehicle
body using a soft sponge or
cotton cloth with mild car-wash
soap. Rinse off with water.
• If water does not bead on a clean
vehicle surface, apply car wax
using a soft cotton cloth when
the body of the vehicle is cool.
When Cleaning the Wheels
• Wait for hot wheels to cool
before getting wheels wet.
• Using a soft sponge or cotton
cloth, apply same mild car-wash
soap as used for the vehicle
body. Quickly rinse off with
water. Using a soft cotton cloth,
apply same car wax as used for
the vehicle body.
