Cleaning the 6x6
Keeping your 6x6 clean will not only improve its appearance but it can
also extend the life of various components. With a few precautions,
your 6x6 can be cleaned much like an automobile.
Washing the 6x6
If a high pressure type car wash system is used, extreme care must be
taken to avoid water damage to the drive chain, wheel bearings,
transmission seals, body panels, brakes and warning labels. Many
expensive repair bills can result from using high pressure detergent
systems.
The best and safest way to clean your 6x6 is with a garden hose and a
pail of mild soap and water. Use a professional type washing mitten,
cleaning the upper body first and the lower parts last. Rinse with water
frequently and dry with a chamois to prevent water spots.
Waxing the 6x6
Your 6x6 can be waxed with any quality brand automotive paste wax.
Avoid the use of harsh cleaners since they can scratch the body finish.
