44 CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
4
Use a clean sponge or cloth, rinse it frequently
and don't damage the finish by rubbing too hard.
For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently
and remove them a little at a time.
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
damage the finish.

Spot Cleaning
Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive
cleaning agents. These can damage the finish
of the car. To remove road tar, use turpentine on
a clean, soft cloth. Be gentle.
To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warm
water and mild soap or car-washing solution.
Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has
lost its luster, use a commercial car-cleaning
polish.
To clean whitewall tires, use a stiff brush or
soap-impregnated steel-wool scouring pad.
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 corrosion, you must clean your Hyundai
(at least once a month). Give special attention
to the removal of salt, mud and other substanc-
es on the underside of the splashboards of the
car. Make sure that the outlets and the under-
side of the doors are open. Paint damage can be
caused by small accumulation of tar, industrial
precipitation, tree resin, insects and bird drop-
pings, when not removed immediately.
If water alone is not strong enough to remove
the accumulated 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.
To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean
sponge or soft cloth and water.
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 win-
ter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the
wheels thoroughly afterwards.

Polishing and Waxing
Always wash and dry the car before polishing or
waxing or using a combination cleaner and wax.
Use a good quality commercial product
follow the manufacturer's directions on the con-
tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces as
well as the paint.

After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. If
soapy water dries on the finish, streaking will
result.
When the weather is warm and the humidity low,
you may find it necessary to rinse each section
immediately after washing to avoid streaking.
