1. Dry the vehicle with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum, and stainless-

steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-
er to remove any remaining dirt.

fore storing or covering it.

on for a short period of time will
help remove the moisture from the
lens.
