4CORROSION PREVENTION AND APPEARANCE CARE
4WASHING AND WAXING
E020E01A-DAT Don't Neglect the Interior Moisture can collect under the floor mats and carpeting to cause corrosion.Check under the mats periodically to be sure the carpeting is dry. Use particular care if you carry fertilisers, cleaningmaterials or chemicals in the car. These should be carried only in proper containers and any spills or leaks shouldbe cleaned up, flushed with clear water and thoroughly dried. E030A02A-DAT Washing Your Hyundai Never wash your car when the surface is hot from being in the sun. Alwayswash your car in the shade. Wash your car frequently. Dirt is abra- sive and can scratch the paint if it is not removed. Air pollution or acid rain may damage the paint and trim throughchemical action if pollutants are al- lowed to remain in contact with the surface. If you live near the ocean or inan area where road salts or dust control chemicals are used, you should pay particular attention to the underside ofthe car. Start by rinsing the car to remove dust and loose dirt. In winter, or if you have driven through mud or muddywater, be sure to thoroughly clean the underside as well. Use a hard direct stream of water to remove accumula-tions of mud or corrosive materials. Use a good quality car-washing solu- tion and follow the manufacturer's di-rections on the package. These are available at your Hyundaidealer or auto parts outlet. Don't usestrong household detergents, petrol, strong solvents or abrasive cleaning powders as these may damage thefinish. Use a clean lambs wool mitt or a cloth, rinse it frequently and don't damage thefinish by rubbing too hard. For stubborn spots, dampen them frequently and remove them a little at a time. To clean whitewall tyres, use a stiff brush or soap-impregnated steel-woolscouring pad. To clean plastic wheel covers, use a clean sponge or soft cloth and water. To clean cast aluminium alloy wheels, use a mild soap or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Protect the bare-metal surfaces by cleaning, pol-ishing and waxing. Because aluminum is subject to corrosion, be sure to give aluminum alloy wheels special atten-tion in winter. If you drive on salted roads, clean the wheels thoroughly af- terwards.
