conditions
.
Spray
the
chassis
with
a
powerful
jet
of

water
.
Commercial
or
self-service
car
washes
may
not
be
best

WARNING-



for
this,
as
they
may
recycle
the
salt-contaminated
water
.

Do
not
clean
the
seat
belt
webbing
using
dry
clean-
ing
or
other
chemicals
.
Allow
wet
belts
to
dry
before
allowing
them
to
retract
.



Speeial
Cleaning

The
condition
of
the
belt
webbing
and
the
function
of
the
re-

tractor
mechanisms
should
be
inspected
.
See720
Seat
Belts
for
seat
belt
inspection
information
.

Exterior
Washing

The
longer
dirt
isleft
on
the
paint,
the
greater
the
risk
of
dam-
aging
the
glossy
finish,
either
by
scratching
or
by
the
chemical
effect
dirt
particles
may
have
on
the
paintedsurface
.

Do
not
wash
the
car
in
direct
sunlight
.
If
the
engine
hood
is

warm,
allow
it
to
cool
.
Beads
of
water
not
only
leavespots
when
dried
rapidly
by
the
sun
or
heat
from
the
engine,
but
also
can
act
as
small
magnifyingglasses
and
burn
spots
into
the
finish
.
Wash
thecar
with
a
mixture
of
lukewarmwater
and
a
car
wash
product
.
Rinse
using
plenty
of
clear
water
.
Wipe
the
body
dry
witha
soft
cloth
towel
or
chamois
to
prevent
water-spotting
.

Waxing

For
a
long-lasting,protective,
and
glossy
finish,
apply
a
hard
wax
after
thecar
has
been
washed
and
dried
.
Use
carnauba
or
synthetic
based
products
.
Waxing
is
not
needed
after
every
washing
.
You
can
tell
when
waxing
is
required
by
looking
at
the
finísh
when
it
is
wet
.
If
the
water
coats
the
paint
in
smooth
sheets
instead
of
forming
beads
that
rol¡
off,
a
new
coat
of
wax
is
needed
.
Wax
shouldnot
be
applied
to
black
trim
pieces,
rub-
ber,or
other
plastic
parts
.

Polishing

Use
paintpolish
only
if
the
finish
assumes
a
dull
lock
after
long
service
.
Polish
can
beused
to
remove
tar
spots
and
tar-
nish,
but
afterwards
a
coat
of
wax
should
be
applied
to
protect
the
clean
finish
.
Do
not
use
abrasive
polish
or
cleaners
on
alu-
minum
trimor
accessories
.

Tar
spots
canbe
removed
with
a
bugand
tar
remover
.
Never

use
gasoline,
kerosene,
nail
polish
remover,
or
other
unsuitable

solvents
.
Insect
spots
also
respond
to
tar
remover
.
A
bit
of
bak-

ing
soda
dissolved
in
the
wash
water
will
facilitate
their
removal
.
This
method
can
also
beused
to
remove
spotting
from
tree
sap
.

Interior
Care

Dirt
spots
can
usually
be
removed
with
lukewarm
soapy
wa-
ter
or
a
dry
foam
cleaner
.
Use
spot
remover
for
grease
and
o¡I

spots
.
Do
not
pour
the
(quid
directly
on
the
carpetor
fabric,
but
dampen
a
clean
cloth
and
rub
carefully,starting
at
the
edge
of
the
spot
and
working
inward
.
Do
not
use
gasoline,
naptha,
or

other
flammable
substances
.

Leather
Upholstery
and
Trim

Leather
upholstery
and
trim
should
be
periodically
cleaned
using
a
slightly
damp
cotton
or
wool
cloth
.
The
idea
is
to
get
rid
of
the
dirtin
the
creases
and
pores
that
can
cause
brittleness
and
premature
aging
.
On
heavily
soiled
areas,
usea
mild
deter-
gent
(such
as
Woolite®)
or
other
specially
formulated
leather
r

cleaners
.
Use
two
tablespoons
to
one
quart
of
cold
water
.
Dry

the
trim
and
upholstery
completely
using
a
soft
cloth
.
Regular
use
of
agood
quality
leather
conditioner
will
reduce
drying
and
crackingof

leather
