CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE 4-3
E030D01A-AAT When to Wax AgainYou should polish and wax the car again when water no longer beads on a clean surface butspreads out over a larger area. E030E01A-AAT Maintaining BumpersSpecial precautions must be observed to pre- serve the appearance of the bumpers on yourHyundai. They are:
o Be careful not to spill battery electrolyte or
hydraulic brake fluid on the bumpers. If you do, wash it off immediately with clear water.
o Be gentle when cleaning the bumper sur- faces. They are made of soft plastic and thesurface can be damaged if mistreated. Do notuse abrasive cleaners. Use warm water andmild soap or car-washing solution.
o Do not expose the bumpers to high tem- peratures. For example, if you have your carrepainted, do not leave the bumpers on thecar if the car is going to be placed in a high-temperature paint booth. E040A01A-AAT CLEANING THE INTERIOR To Clean the Vinyl Upholstery To clean the vinyl upholstery, first remove loose dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Then applya solution of mild soap or detergent and waterusing a clean sponge or soft cloth. Allow this tostay on the surface to loosen the dirt, then wipewith a clean damp sponge or cloth. If all the dirtstains are not removed, repeat this procedureuntil the upholstery is clean. Do not use gasoline,solvent, paint thinner or other strong cleaners.
E030B01A-AAT Spot CleaningDon't use gasoline, strong solvents or corrosive cleaning agents. These can damage the finish ofthe car. To remove road tar, use turpentine on aclean, soft cloth. Be gentle.To remove dead insects or tree sap, use warmwater and mild soap or car-washing solution.Soak the spot and rub gently. If the paint has lostits luster, use a commercial car-cleaning polish. E030C01A-AAT Polishing and Waxing Always wash and dry the car before polishing or waxing or using a combination cleaner and wax.Use a good quality commercial product andfollow the manufacturer's directions on the con-tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim pieces aswell as the paint. E040B01A-AAT To Clean the Leather Upholstery (If Installed) In the normal course of use, leather upholstered surfaces will, like any material, pick-up dust anddirt. This dust and dirt must be cleaned off or itmay work into the surface of the leather, causingdamage. Fine leather needs care, and should be cleaned when necessary. Washing leather thoroughlywith soap and water will keep your leather lus-trous, beautiful and ensure you have many yearsof wear.Take a piece of cheese cloth and using any mildsoap and lukewarm water, work up a good lather.Thoroughly wash the leather. Wipe clean with aslightly damp cloth and dry with soft cloth. Do thisas often as the leather becomes soiled.
sure that the outlets and the underside of thedoors are open. Paint damage can be caused bysmall accumulation of tar, industrial precipita-tion, tree resin, insects and bird droppings, whennot removed immediately. If water alone is notstrong enough to remove the accumulated dirt,use a mild car washing solution. Be sure to rinsethe surface after washing to remove the solution.Never allow the solution to dry on the paintedsurfaces.
