CLEANING THE VEHICLE

See General Warnings, Section 1, 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.
Club Car Precedent vehicles are equipped with Surlyn
able automotive cleaners with a sponge or soft cloth for normal cleaning. A garden hose at normal residential
water pressure is adequate.
Club Car does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Such a process (especially
if the vehicle has a Surlyn rear body that is removed) will expose electrical components to moisture. Moisture
entering electrical components can result in water damage and subsequent component failure.
Use non-abrasive wax products. Do not use abrasive leveling or rubbing compounds; these will permanently
dull the gloss. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum should be removed
immediately to prevent possible stains.
NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.

SEAT

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 dish 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 damp-
ened cloth.
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.
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.
