PAINTED SURFACES
The painted exterior surfaces of your Cessna have a durable, long lasting finish and, under
normal conditions, require no polishing or buffing. Approximately 15 days are requires for paint
to cure completely; in most cases, the curing period will have been completed prior to delivery
of the airplane. In the event that polishing or buffing is required within the curing period, it is
recommended that the work be done by someone experienced in handing uncured paint. Any
Cessna dealer can accomplish this work
Generally the painted surfaces can be kept bright by washing with water and mild soap,
followed by a rinse with water and drying with cloths or a chamois. Harsh or abrasive soaps or
detergents which cause corrosion or scratches should never be used. remove stubborn oil and
grease with a cloth moisten with Stoddard solvent
Waxing is unnecessary to keep the painted surfaces bright. However, if desired, the airplane
may be waxed with a good automotive wax. A heavier coating of wax on the leading edges of
the wings and tail and on the engine nose cap and propeller spinner will help reduce the
abrasion encountered in these areas.
When the airplane is parked outside in cold climate and it is necessary to remove ice before
flight, care should be taken to protect the painted surfaces during ice removal with chemical
liquids. A 50-50 solution of isopropyl alcohol and water will satisfactory remove ice accumula-
tions without damaging the paint. A solution with more than 50% alcohol is harmful and should
be avoided. While applying the de-icing solution, keep it away from the windshield and cabin
windows since the alcohol will attack the plastic and may cause it to craze
PROPELLER CARE
Preflight inspection of propeller blades for nicks, and wiping them occasionally with damp cloth
to clean off grass and bugs, stains will assure long, trouble-free service. Small nicks on the
propeller, particularly near tips and on leading edges, should be dressed out as soon as
possible in accordance with propeller Maintenance and User manual. Normal solvents can be
used to clean the blades.
Propeller Manual HOFFMANN No. 540 is mandatory for the installation, operation and
maintenance of the propeller.
INTERIOR CARE
To remove dust and loose dirt from the upholstery and carpet, clean the interior regularly with
vacuum cleaner
Blot up any spilled liquid promptly with cleansing tissue or rags. Don´t pat the spot; press the
blotting material firmly and hold it for several seconds. Continue blotting until no more liquid is
taken up. Scrape off sticky materials with a dull knife, the spot-clean the area.
