After thoroughly
cleaning, the surface should be
waxed
with
a
good
grade of commercial
wax. The wax
will fill, in
minor
scratches and help
prevent
further scratching. Apply
a
thin,
even coat of
wax
and bring it
to
a high
polish
by
rubbing
lightly with
a clean, dry, soft flannel cloth. Do
not
use a power
buffer;
the
heat
generated
by the buffing
pad
may soften the
plastic.
INTERIOR
To remove dust
and
loose dirt
from the upholstery, head-
liner,
and carpet,
clean
the
interior regularly
with
a
vacuum cleaner.
Blot up any
spilled liquid promptly
with cleansing tissue or
rags.
Do
not pat
the
spot; press
the blotting material firmly
and
hold
it
for several
seconds.
Continue blotting until
no
more liquid is taken up. Scrape
off sticky materials
with
a
dull knife, then
spot-clean
the area.
Oily spots may be cleaned
with household
spot removers,
used
sparingly. Before
using any
solvent,
read
the
instruc-
tions on the container
and
test
it
on an obscure
place on
the fabric to be cleaned. Never
saturate
the
fabric with
a
volatile solvent;
it
may damage the
padding and
backing
materials.
Soiled upholstery
and
carpet may
be
cleaned
with
foam-
type
detergent
used according
to
the
manufacturer's
in-
structions. To minimize
wetting
the fabric, keep the foam
as dry
as
possible
and
remove
it with
a vacuum cleaner.
The
plastic
trim,
instrument
panel, and
control knobs
need
only
be
wiped
with
a damp cloth.
Oi!
and grease
on
the
control
wheel
and
control knobs can be removed with
a
cloth moistened
with
isopropyl alcohol.
