REMOVING SPOTS Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust, in-
sects, and tree sap as quickly as possible from
the surface of the paint to avoid lasting dam-
age or staining. Special cleaning products are
available at your INFINITI retailer or any auto-
motive accessory store.
UNDERBODY In areas where road salt is used in winter, the
underbody must be cleaned regularly. This will
prevent dirt and salt from building up and
causing underbody and suspension corrosion.
Before the winter period and again in the
spring, the underseal must be checked and, if
necessary, re-treated.
GLASS Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust
film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for
glass to become coated with a film after the
vehicle is parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner
and a soft cloth will easily remove this film.
CAUTIONWhen cleaning the inside of the window,
do not use sharp-edged tools, abrasive cleaners or chlorine based disinfectant
cleaners. They could damage the elec-
trical conductors, radio antenna ele-
ments or rear window defogger ele-
ments.
ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEELS Wash regularly, especially during winter
months in areas where road salt is used. Salt
could discolor the wheel if not removed.
CHROME PARTS Clean all chrome parts regularly with a non-
abrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish. Occasionally remove loose dust from the inte-
rior trim, plastic parts and seats using a
vacuum cleaner or soft brush. Wipe the vinyl
and leather surfaces with a clean, soft cloth
dampened in mild soap solution, then wipe
clean with a dry soft cloth. Before using any
fabric protector, read the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations. Some fabric protectors con-
tain chemicals that may stain or bleach the
seat material.
Use a cloth dampened only with water, to
clean the meter and gauge lens.
CAUTION O Never use gasoline, thinner, or any
similar material.
O The leather seats should be regularly
coated with a leather wax like saddle
soap. Never use car wax.
O Never use fabric protectors unless
recommended by the manufacturer.
O Do not use glass or plastic cleaner on
meter or gauge lens covers. It may
damage the lens cover.CLEANING INTERIOR
