4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed
off, wash all surfaces with warm water and
mild, detergent-type soap. An old toothbrush
or bottle brush is handy for hard-to-get-at
places.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with clean
water and dry all surfaces with a clean cham-
ois towel or soft, absorbent cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery clean-
er to keep the covers pliable and glossy.
7. Automotive-type wax may be applied to all
painted and chrome-plated surfaces. Avoid
combination cleaner-waxes. Many contain
abrasives which may scratch the paint or pro-
tective finish. When finished, start the engine
and let it idle for several minutes.
