driving for long distance in the hot weather.
● Wash detergent from the wheels immediately after use.
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime
condition.
● Working from top to bottom, liber ally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any
