Maintenance
EXTERIOR CARE
Exterior general caution
Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial pollution and similar deposits
can damage your vehicle’s finish if not
removed immediately.
Even prompt washing with plain water
may not completely remove all these
deposits. A mild soap, safe for use on
painted surfaces, may be used.
It is very important to follow the label
directions when using any chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warning and
caution statements that appear on the
label.

rust and deterioration, wash it thoroughly

lukewarm or cold water.

oughly with lukewarm or cold water. Do
not allow soap to dry on the finish.
