CLEANING THE VEHICLE
Notice:
Washing and polishing operations should not be carried out in the sun, particularly
during the summer when the bodywork is warm.
Under no circumstances should petrol or Diesel oil be used for washing painted
surfaces or plastic material as they will deteriorate.
Always wash the scooter before polishing.
1) Engine.
For cleaning the exposed surface of the engine use paraffin, a brush and clean rags.
2) Bodywork. - Washing.
Painted parts should be washed down using a low pressure hose. Do not use a high
pressure system as grit may be forced into the paint.
When the dirt and grime becomes soft, sponge off using one of the << car type >>
shampoos available (use a product of the type Rolene and Teepol, which are employed
in aqueous solution, 3 = 5% by weight). First, lightly wash the painted surface of the
scooter, in order to avoid scratching. Thoroughly rinse with plenty of water. Dry off using
a clean chamois leather to eliminate water marks.
- Spots.
To remove spots caused by tar, grease, insects, etc., rub gently with a soft cloth dipped
in oil or turpentine. More persistent marks can be removed with a solution of warm water
and car shampoo. Carry out this procedure periodically, to eliminate permanent
paintwork damage.
- Polishing.
If after washing, as previously described, the original condition is not restored, apply
evenly a thin coat of good quality wax polish and shine with a soft cloth, rubbing gently in
a side to side manner.
