E030B01A-AATSpot CleaningDon'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-wash-
ing solution. Soak the spot and rub gen-
tly. If the paint has lost its luster, use a
commercial car-cleaning polish.E030C01A-AATPolishing and WaxingAlways wash and dry the car before pol-
ishing or waxing or using a combination
cleaner and wax. Use a good quality
commercial product and follow the
manufacturer's directions on the con-
tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim
pieces as well as the paint.
E030D01A-AATWhen to Wax AgainYou should polish and wax the car again
when water no longer beads on a clean
surface but spreads out over a larger
area.E030E01A-AATMaintaining BumpersSpecial precautions must be observed to
preserve the appearance of the bumpers
on your Hyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery electro-
lyte or hydraulic brake fluid on the
bumpers. If you do, wash it off imme-
diately with clean water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper
surfaces. They are made of soft plastic
and the surface can be damaged if
mistreated. Do not use abrasive clean-
ers. Use warm water and mild soap or
carwashing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high
temperatures. For example, if you have
your car repainted, do not leave the
bumpers on the car if the car is going
to be placed in a high-temperature
paint booth.
