1. Rinse off any degreaser and spray
down the vehicle with a garden
hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. Avoid spraying wa-
ter directly into the muffler, instru-
ment panel, air inlet, or other inner
areas such as underseat storage
compartments.
2. Wash the vehicle with a quality au-
tomotive-type detergent
(YAMALUBE Wash & Wax) mixed
with cool water and a soft, clean
towel or sponge. Use an old tooth-
brush or plastic-bristle brush for
hard-to-reach places.
NOTICE:
Use col

water if the vehicle has
b
een expose

to salt. Warm wa-
ter will increase salt’s corrosive
properties.

absorbent towel, preferably mi-
crofiber terrycloth.
2. For drive chain-equipped models,
dry and then lubricate it to prevent
rust.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine
