mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water. After
rinsing thoroughly, dry with a soft clean towel. A wax

surface
of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps,
chemicals, abrasive polishes, abrasive cleaners
or
abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could
damage the surface.
You may use chrome polish on
chrome wheels, but avoid any painted surface of the
wheel, and buff off immediately after application.
