CLEANING THE VEHICLE

See General Warning on page 1-1.
CAUTION
• Do not use detergents or cleaning solvents that contain ammonia, aromatic solvents, or alkali
materials on body panels or seats.
• Do not allow battery acid to drip on body panels. Battery acid will cause permanent damage. Wash
spilled battery acid from body panels immediately.
Each vehicle is equipped with an injection molded ArmorFlex
aluminum or powder-coated steel cargo bed. Use a mild soap or detergent with a sponge or soft cloth for normal
cleaning. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum should be removed immediately to
prevent possible stains. Because the finish on the front body is the same as the finish on today's automobiles,
commercial automotive cleaning products should be used. For general cleaning of the aluminum rear body, use a mild
liquid soap and a sponge or soft bristle brush. To remove oxidation or discoloration from aluminum, use a commercially
available aluminum cleaner paste and fine grade (no. 00) steel wool.
Club Car does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Such a process will expose electrical
components to moisture. Moisture entering electrical components can result in water damage and subsequent
component failure.
The seats of the vehicle will last longer with proper cleaning. To preserve seat appearance, clean regularly with mild
soap or detergent applied with a sponge or soft cloth. Use a soft bristle brush to clean areas that are especially
soiled. Use the following guidelines:
Light Soiling – A solution of 10% liquid soap and warm water applied with a soft, damp cloth is recommended. A
soft bristle brush may be used if necessary. Wipe off any residue with a water dampened cloth.
For Difficult Stains – Dampen a soft, white cloth with a solution of 10% household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and
90% water. Rub gently to remove stain, then rinse with a water dampened cloth to remove bleach concentration.
For More Difficult Stains – Perform previous procedure using full-strength bleach; or allow bleach to puddle on
affected area for approximately 30 minutes. Rinse with a water dampened cloth to remove any remaining bleach
concentration.
