Cleaning the Exterior

Regular cleaning of the tipper will maintain the smooth surface essential in
allowing the load to slip when tipping. Brush the tipper bed with a broom to
clear the floor of debris and brush off the body edges and generally clean
around the bodyside and/or tailboard apertures to ensure the side and
tailboard can be closed without jamming.
If the vehicle has been used on muddy/dirty sites, always wash down the
wheels, rear tail lights, license plate and lamps.
If the Tipper has been used to transport corrosive material, e.g. road
salt. The Tipper bed and vehicle should be washed as soon as
possible, thereby preventing any potential corrosion.
The use of a high pressure washer could cause damage to certain
parts of your vehicle.

Repairing Minor Paint Damage

You should repair paintwork damage caused by stones from the road or minor
scratches as soon as possible. A choice of products are available from your
Ford Dealer. Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Remove apparently harmless looking substances from the paintwork
immediately (e.g. bird droppings, tree resins, insect remains, tar spots,
road salt and industrial fall out).
