water, be sure to thoroughly clean the
underside as  well. Use a  hard direct
stream of water to remove accumula-
tions  of mud  or corrosive  materials.
Use a good quality car-washing solu-
tion and follow the manufacturer's di-
rections on  the  package. These  are
availableatyourHyundaidealerorauto
parts outlet. Don't  use strong house-
hold detergents, gasoline, strong sol-
ventsorabrasivecleaningpowdersas
these may damage the finish.

frequently and don't damage the finish

dampen them frequently and remove
them a little at a time.

brush  or  soapy  steel-wool scouring
pad.

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
substances  on the  underside of  the
splashboardsofthecar.Makesurethat
the outlets  and the  underside of  the
doors are open. Paint damage can be
caused by small accumulation  of tar,
industrial precipitation,  tree resin, in-
sects  and bird  droppings,  when not
removedimmediately.Ifwateraloneis
notstrongenoughtoremovetheaccu-
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.
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.
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 plastic  wheel covers, use a
clean sponge or soft cloth and water.
