7-2 Maintenance of Vehicle Body
Never wipe the surface of combination lights with gasoline, ethyl alcohol, lacquer
thinner, carbon tetrachloride and other chemical solvents when cleaning the
combination lights. Otherwise, cracking of combination light covers will be caused.
Waxing
It is recommended to polish and wax the vehicle body (once a month) to keep its
polished surface as bright and clean as a new one. Be sure to wax the vehicle body if
the surface of vehicle body shows poor water resistance.
Be sure to wash and wipe dry the vehicle body before waxing. It is required to do so
even if the compound of detergent and wax is used.
Use high-quality polishing agent and vehicle wax. If the vehicle's polished surface is
found with serious wreathing effect, the synthetic cleaning and polishing agent is not
recommended. Observe the manufacturer's specifications carefully and take specified
preventive measures. The chrome plated surface should be polished and waxed the
same as the painted surface.
Re-waxing of the vehicle should be performed if the water remains on the painted
surface in a large area and does not form water drops.
WARNING
If the vehicle is re-waxed and parked in a high-temperature painting and waxing
workshop, the vehicle's plastic bumper should be removed, because high temperature
may damage the bumper.
Cleaning of Vehicle Interior
Do not let water flow onto the vehicle floor when washing the vehicle. Water may enter
audio components and other electric components on or beneath carpets (or seat cushions),
which will cause malfunction of these components and corrosion of the vehicle body.
Carpet
Use a high-quality foam detergent to clean the carpet.
Remove the dust with a dust collector as far as possible. Several types of foam
detergent can be used. Some are contained in spray cans, and others are powder or
liquid, which produce foam after being mixed with water. Clean the carpet with a piece
of sponge or a brush with foam. Wipe the carpet in a circular way.
Do not wash the carpet with water. Keep the carpet dry to the greatest extent. Read
and strictly observe the instructions for corresponding detergents.
