4   CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
trol chemicals  are  used, you  should
pay particular attention  to the under-
side of the car. Start by rinsing the car
to remove dust and loose dirt. In win-
ter, or if you have driven through mud
or muddy water, be sure to thoroughly
clean  the underside  as  well.  Use a
hard direct stream of water to remove
accumulations  of  mud  or  corrosive
materials. High pressure  car washes

Use a good quality car-washing solu-
tion and follow the manufacturer's di-
rections on  the  package. These  are
available  at your  Hyundai  dealer or
auto  parts  outlet.  Don't  use  strong
householddetergents,gasoline,strong
solventsorabrasivecleaningpowders
as these may damage the finish.
To  clean whitewall  tires,  use  a stiff
brush  or  soapy  steel-wool scouring
pad.
To clean plastic  wheel covers, use a
clean sponge or soft cloth and water.
After rinsing, dry the car using a damp
chamois or soft, absorbent cloth. The
reason for drying the car is to remove
water from the car so it will dry without
water spots. Don't rub, this can  dam-
age the finish.
To clean cast aluminum alloy wheels,
use a mild soap or neutral detergent.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protect
the bare-metal surfaces  by cleaning,
polishing and waxing. Because alumi-
num is subject to corrosion, be sure to
give  aluminum  alloy wheels  special
attention  in  winter.  If  you  drive  on
salted roads,  clean the  wheels thor-
oughly afterwards.
If you find  any nicks or  scratches in
the paint, use touch-up paint to cover
them to prevent corrosion. To protect
the paintwork of the car against corro-
sion, you must clean your Hyundai (at
least once a month). Give  special at-
tention to the removal of salt, mud and
other substances on the underside of
the  splashboards  of  the  car.  Make
sure that the outlets and the underside
of the doors are open.  Paint damage
can be caused by small accumulation

insects and bird droppings, when not

mulated dirt, use  a mild car  washing
solution. Be sure to rinse  the surface
after washing to remove the solution.
Never allow the solution to dry on the
painted surfaces.
After washing,  be sure to  rinse thor-
oughly.  If soapy  water  dries  on the
finish, streaking will result.
Use a clean  sponge or cloth,  rinse it
frequently and don't damage the finish

dampen them frequently and remove
them a little at a time.
When the  weather  is warm  and the
humidity low,  you may find  it neces-
sary to rinse each section immediately
after washing to avoid streaking.
