Cleaning Aluminum
or
Chrome
Wheels
(If
Equipped)
Keep your wheels clean using
a
soft clean cloth with
mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water. After
rinsing thoroughly, dry with a soft clean towel.
A
wax
may then be applied.
The surface of these wheels is similar to the painted
surface of your vehicle. Don’t use st?ong soaps,
chemicals, abrasive polishes, abrasive cleaners or
abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could
darnage the surface. You may use chrome polish
on
chrome wheels, but avoid any painted surface of the
wheel, and buff
off
immediately after application.
Don’t take your vehicle through an automatic car wash
that has silicon carbide tire cleaning brushes. These
brushes can also damage the surface of these wheels.
Cleaning Tires
To clean your tires, use a stiff
brush
with a tire cleaner.
I
NOTICE:
When applying a tire dressing always take care
to wipe
off
any overspray or splash from all
painted surfaces
on
the body or wheels of the
vehicle. Petroleum-based products may damage
the paint finish.
Sheet Metal Damage
If
your vehicle is damaged and requires sheet metal
repair or replacement, make sure the body repair shop
applies anti-corrosion material to the parts repaired or
replaced to restore corrosion protection.
