CESSNA
MODEL
172R
Follow by carefully washing
with a mild
detergent
and plenty
of
water. Rinse thoroughly,
then
dry
with
a
clean
moist chamois.
Do
not
rub
the
plastic with a dry
cloth
since
this
builds
up
an
electrostatic
charge
which
attracts
dust.
Waxing
with
a
good
commercial
wax will
finish
the
cleaning
job. A
thin,
even
coat of
wax,
polished
out
by hand with clean
soft flannel
cloths,
will
fill in
minor scratches
and
help prevent
further scratching.
Do
not
use a
canvas
cover on
the windshield
unless
freezing
rain
or
sleet is
anticipated since the cover
may
scratch the plastic
surface.
PAINTED
SURFACES
The
painted
exterior
surfaces
of your
new
Cessna
have a
durable,
long
lasting
finish.
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 moistened with
Stoddard
solvent. Take special care
to
make sure that the exterior graphics
are
not
touched
by
the solvent.
For
complete care
of
exterior
|graphics
refer to
the Maintenance
Manual.
To seal
any
minor
surface
chips
or scratches
and
protect against
corrosion,
the
airplane
should be
waxed regularly
with
a good
automotive wax applied in accordance with the
manufacturer's
instructions,
if
the
airplane is operated in a
seacoast
or
other salt
water environment,
it
must
be washed and waxed more
frequently
to
assure
adequate protection. Special
care
should be taken
to
seal
around rivet heads and skin laps, which
are
the
areas
most
susceptible
to
corrosion. A heavier
coating of
wax on
the
leading
edges
of
the wings and tail
and
on the
cowl
nose cap and
propeller
spinner will help reduce
the
abrasion encountered in these
areas.
Reapplication
of
wax
will
generally
be
necessary after
cleaning
with
soap
solution or
after
chemical
deicing
operations.
