Cleaning The Car - Ford Maverick1970 Owner's Manual

DAY-TO-DAY CARE
CLEANING
THE CAR
The
quality
and
craftsmanship
of
your
Ford-built car
makes
the factory-fresh
beauty easy
to
maintain. Regular
care
of
the exterior paint
and
metal
finishes
and
the inside trim
will
keep them
looking
like
new,
•
Wash
your
car often and
thoroughly
with
warm
or cold water.
If
the car
is
very
dirty,
wash
it
with Ford
Liquid
Car Wash. Do
not wipe
painted
sur-
faces with a dry
cloth because
this
could
produce
scratches.
•
The
super enamel
finish of
your
car
will
never need waxing under most
nor-
mal
driving conditions.
However,
dam-
age
to the
finish
may
result
if
you
drive
frequently where
tree sap,
fly
ash
or
salt
deposits can
cling to
the painted
surface.
Ford Custom
Silicone Glass
36
will
help prevent
this
damaging
effect
by forming an
invisible
film over your
entire
car.
CAUTION: Do
not clean
seat or shoulder
belts
with carbon
tetrachloride, naphtha,
etc.
Also bleaching
or redyeing the
webbing
is
not recommended
because
of possible
loss
of
webbing
strength.
To
clean webbing,
wash
with any
commercial
soap, mild de-
tergent or Ford
"Triple Clean."
•
The
metal trim on your
car
needs
no
special care. Ford Chrome
Cleaner can
be used
to
remove
road
tar or
salt ac-
cumulations.
Do
not scour aluminum
or
chrome
finished parts
with
steel
wool
or polish them
with products containing
abrasives.
•
Dust and
loose
dirt should be removed
from
the upholstery, trim
and
floor cov-
ering frequently, using
a whisk broom
or
Ford Auto Vacuum.
Vinyl
plastic
surfaces can
be wiped
clean
with
a
damp
cloth.
Use
Ford
Triple
Clean
or
All-Purpose
Cleaner concentrate
for
cleaning nylon
upholstery
and
nylon-
rayon
carpeting.
