POLISHING THE VEHICLE
POLARIS recommends the use of common household aerosol furniture polish
for polishing the finish on your POLARIS vehicle. Follow the instructions on the
container.
POLISHING TIPS
• Avoid the use of automotive products, some of which can scratch the finish of
your vehicle.
• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or reused
cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.
CHROME WHEEL CARE (IF EQUIPPED)
Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion, preserve wheel
life and ensure a “like new” appearance for many years. Chrome wheels
exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal areas) are more susceptible to
corrosion if not properly cleaned. Clean chrome wheels more often if they're
exposed to salt or other corrosive elements.
1. Wash chrome wheels frequently. Use a mild detergent. Never use abrasive
cleaners on plated or painted surfaces.
2. Rinse well with clear water. Soap, detergents, salt, dirt, mud and other
elements can cause corrosion.
3. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive grade
chrome polish.
4. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each polished
chrome wheel. Choose a product suitable for chrome finishes. Read and
follow the product labels and instructions.
