Cleaning Plastic Parts
*
[IN08500(ALL)04/95]
Some of your vehicle's exterior trim parts are
plastic. Clean with a tar and road oil remover if
necessary. Use a vinyl cleaner for routine
cleaning.
*
[IN08600(ALL)04/95]
Do not clean plastic parts with thinners, solvents
or petroleum-based cleaners.
%*
[IN08700(ALL)04/95]
If you have your vehicle rustproofed, remove
oversprayed rustproofing with a tar and road oil
remover. If rustproofing is not removed from
plastic and rubber parts, it can cause
deterioration.
*
[IN08725(ALL)04/95]
Because your vehicle's side mouldings are
painted in lacquer, do not use thinners or
solvents to clean them.
