Maintenance
A good coat of automotive body wax helps protect your vehicle’s paint from the 
elements. Wax will wear off over time  and expose your vehicle’s paint to the 
elements, so reapply as necessary.
If you get gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery fluid on resin coated parts, they 
may be stained or the coating may peel. Prom ptly wipe it away using a soft cloth and 
clean water.
Wipe using a glass cleaner.
Aluminum is susceptible to deterioration caused by salt and other road 
contaminants. When necessary, as early as  possible use a sponge and mild detergent 
to wipe away these contaminants. Do no t use a stiff brush or harsh chemicals 
(including some commercial wheel cleaners).  These can damage the protective finish 
on aluminum alloy wheels, resulting in corrosion. Depending on the type of finish, 
the wheels also may lose their luster or  appear burnished. To avoid water stains, 
wipe the wheels dry with a cloth while they are still wet.
