Task Description:
The trike frame is made of powder coated aluminum and the optional fairing is a gel coated
fiber glass resin composite. Both can be cleaned with any mild degreasing detergent such as
Dawn. For heavy accumulations of grease or oil, first identify and fix the source. Heavy
grease or oil can be removed by spraying the area with WD-40 and wipe off with a dry rag or
paper towel. Follow up with mild detergent to remove the residual film and rinse well with
clear water. Avoid wetting electrical wires and connections, air filter, and throttle, choke, and
BRS cables by protecting with a plastic cover. Avoid spraying WD-40 or other degreaser on
air filter, fabric side bags, wing fabric, electrical components, or metal components when they
are hot. Most degreasers are flammable.
Minor scratches on the fairing can be buffed out using a high quality auto polish and soft rag.
Do not use rubbing compound.
