Maintenance and Service
DO NOT aim the water jet directly at door and window seals or door locks. If
locks are filled with water, use compressed air to clean the water out and then
apply liquid graphite. Be especially careful of leaving water in locks or around
seals during freezing weather.
Apply a coat of wax regularly. This will help the paint and other surfaces keep
their luster. If the surface gets dull, use a restoring cleaner specially designed
for this. Clean off all tar spots and tree sap before waxing.
Chassis
Keep the chassis free from buildup of dirt. Make sure the chassis is cleaned
before the maintenance inspections to help spotting leaks, etc. As salt can be
part of the road sludge during the cold season, remove buildup of snow and ice
so it does not promote corrosion. At the end of the cold season, thoroughly
flush away all collected dirt from the chassis.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel will rust if exposed to salt for too long. Wash frequently,
especially during the cold season, to remove salt-laden snow and ice. If rust
appears, wash the surface and use a rubbing compound to remove the rust.
Apply a coat of wax as a finish (do not wax parts that get hot, such as exhaust
pipes, etc.).
Never use steel wool to clean stainless steel. Pieces of the steel wool break off
and can create rust stains on the surface.
Chrome
Chrome surfaces will rust if they are not cleaned and protected. This is
especially important during the cold season when roads are salted or in coastal
areas where the salt level in the air is high. Clean chrome surfaces with clean
water. If the surface has heavy dirt or tar spots, use a tar remover. To remove
rust spots, use a non-abrasive chrome cleaner and apply a coat of wax as a
finish (do not wax parts that get hot, such as exhaust pipes, etc.).
