GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND REGULAR USE
•
When cleaning carpet, remove
dirt and dust with a vacuum
cleaner. Apply a foaming-type
carpet cleaner with a sponge or
brush, allowing cleaner to work
for a few minutes to loosen dirt.
Continue by rubbing carpet in a
circular motion. Wipe off any
excess cleaner with a clean cloth.
If any dirt remains, repeat process.
Best results are obtained by
keeping the carpet as dry as
possible.
When Cleaning the Exterior
•
Working from top to bottom,
apply lots of low-pressure water
to the body, wheel wells and
underside of vehicle to remove
dirt and dust. Wash the vehicle
body using a soft sponge or
cotton cloth with mild car-wash
soap. Rinse off with water.
•
If water does not bead on a clean
vehicle surface, apply car wax
using a soft cotton cloth when
the body of the vehicle is cool.
When Cleaning the Wheels
•
Wait for hot wheels to cool
before getting wheels wet.
•
Using a soft sponge or cotton
cloth, apply same mild car-wash
soap as used for the vehicle
body. Quickly rinse off with
water. Using a soft cotton cloth,
apply same car wax as used for
the vehicle body.
