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.

dampen them frequently and remove
them a little at a time.
To  clean whitewall  tires,  use  a stiff
brush  or  soapy  steel-wool scouring
pad.

not use abrasive cleaners. Protect the
bare-metal surfaces by cleaning, pol-
ishingandwaxing.Becausealuminum

aluminum alloy wheels special atten-
tion in  winter.  If you  drive on  salted
roads, clean the wheels thoroughly af-

Hyundai (at least once a month). Give
special attention to the removal of salt,
mud and other substances on the un-
derside 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 accu-
mulation of tar, industrial precipitation,
tree resin, insects and bird droppings,
when not removed immediately. If wa-
ter alone  is not strong enough  to re-
move the accumulated dirt, use a mild
car washing solution. Be sure to rinse

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.
