12. VEHICLE CLEANING
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
In order to remove dirt and road grime and thus
preserve paint finish, vehicles in continuous use
should be washed at least once a week.
Before washing the paintwork, it is good policy to
first hose all dirt from the underbody and clean out
the drain holes in the doors and sill panels.
Hose the vehicle to remove as much grit as
possible and wash using a clean chamois or sponge,
ensuring that the chamois or sponge is free from dirt
or grit which could scratch the paint surface.
Avoid washing the vehicle in bright sunlight with
high temperature as this will give the paintwork a
streaky watermarked finish.
If necessary, wash the vehicle using a reputable
brand Wash and Wax liquid. The Wash and Wax
liquid will restore the paint luster and leave the
paintwork with a protective coating of wax.
After a period it may become necessary to polish
the vehicle in order to remove built up foreign matter
and give the paintwork maximum protection from
industrial fall-out and salt from sea air etc. Before
polishing the paintwork, always wash the surface to
remove as much road grime as possible. When
polishing follow the polishing instructions which come
with the polish.
NOTE: Grease, oil or tar on the paint
surface can be removed with a little kerosene
or white spirits. To prevent staining, wash
and polish the affected area as soon as the
grease, oil or tar is removed.
CLEANING VINYL TRIM
To maintain the vinyl interior trim in good
condition it should be regularly vacuumed to remove
loose dirt and then wiped with a dry or damp cloth.
If the trim is soiled or stained, the following
cleaning procedure is recommended:
Using warm water, cheese cloth and a mild
soap, thoroughly wash the affected areas.
Repeat the operation using damp cheese
cloth only.
To complete the cleaning operation wipe the
trim over with a dry piece of cheese cloth.
NOTE: If the interior trim is badly soiled or
stained, wash with a reputable brand of
upholstery cleaner care fully following the
makers instructions.
CLEANING CLOTH TRIM
Loose dirt and dust on cloth trim should be
removed with a vacuum cleaner or a very soft brush.
Do not use a whisk brush or any other type of coarse
brush or damage to the cloth could result. If the fabric
is soiled the following cl eaning procedure is recom-
mended.
Sponge the fabric ligh tly with warm water
containing a little detergen t and household ammonia.
After sponging, rub the fabric lightly. If
soiling is still apparent, re peat the sponging operation.
Use a clean dry cloth to soak up excess fluid.
