Painted Surfaces
Wash painted surfaces frequently to
remove grime and caustic deposits
which may stain the finish. See
Cleaning, Protecting, and Weather
Stripping on page 5-72.
Chrome and Aluminum Surfaces
To prevent rust, keep chromed parts
clean and protected with wax at all
times, especially in winter conditions
where the roads are salted.
•
If necessary, use a commercial
chrome cleaner to remove light
rust.
•
Chrome surfaces are best
cleaned with fresh water. Wipe
dry to preserve their luster. A
commercial chrome cleaner will
remove light rust. After cleaning,
wax flat surfaces and apply a thin
coat of rust preventive lubricant
around bolts or other fasteners.
•
Clean aluminum wheels and
bumpers with warm water. Tar
remover will get rid of heavy
deposits of road grime. To prevent
spotting, wipe aluminum surfaces
dry after washing.
•
Under corrosive conditions, such
as driving on salted roads, clean
aluminum parts with steam or high
pressure water from a hose. A
mild soap solution will help. Rinse
thoroughly.
