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 strong soaps,
chemicals, abrasive polishes, abrasive cleaners or
abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could
damage 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:
I
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 cofrosion protection.
Finish
Damage
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish
should be repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode
quickly and may develop into a major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up
materials available from your dealer
or
other service
outlets. Larger areas
of
finish damage can be corrected
in
your dealer’s body and paint shop.
