the mirror surface. The mirror itself sho-
uld not be polished or scraped with an ice
scraper.
Windows
Clean all windows regularly to remove
road film and car-wash wax buildup. Use
a lukewarm soap water solution or an
alcohol base commercial window
cleaning agent. If a chamois is used for
polishing the glass, it should exclusively
be used for that purpose.
Also, be sure to clean all windows regu-
larly on the inside.
Use a plastic scraper to remove snow
and ice from windows. To prevent dirt
from scratching the window, always scra-
pe in forward direction-never back and
forth.
Weatherstrips
Keep silicone sprays off the
windshield to avoid wiper smear in
rain.
To seal properly, weatherstrips around
trunk, hood, hatch, windows, doors, etc.,
must be pliable. Spray with silicone or
coat with talcum powder or glycerine to
retain flexibility of the rubber and to
protect against freezing in the winter.

brake metal dust can cause pitting. Wash
the wheels with a sponge or hose brush

regular cleaning) the wheels should be
coated with petroleum jelly or car wax.
