b~
cleaned with an aircraft
windshield
cleaner.

cleaner
sparingly with soft
~loths,
and
rub
with moderate
pressure
until all
dirt,
oil scum and
bug
stains
are
re-
moved._. Allow the
cleaner
to dry, then
~~pe
it
off with soft flannel cloths.
If
a windshield
cleaner
is
not available, the plastic can be cleaned
with soft cloths moistened with Stoddard solvent
to
remove oil and grease.

tetrachloride,
fire

PAINTED
SURFACES~
-
The painted
exterior
surfaces
of
your
new
Cessna have a durable,
long lasting finish and, under
normal
comlil ions,
require
no
polishing or
buffing . . Approximately-
15
days ·
are
required
for the paint to cure com-
pletely; in most
cases,
the curing
period
will have been completed prior
to delivery
of
the airplane. In the event that polishing
or
buffing
is
·
re-
quired within the curing period,
it
is recommended that the work be
done
by
someone experienced in handling uncured paint.
Any
Cessna Dealer
can accomplish this work.
