PAINTED SURFACES
The
painted
exterior
surfaces
of
your
new
Cessna
have
a
durable,
long
lasting
finish.
Generally,
the
painted
surfaces
can
be
kept
bright
by
washing
with
water
and
mild
soap,
followed
by
a
rinse
with
water
and
drying
with
cloths
or
a
chamois.
Harsh
or
abrasive
soaps
or
detergents
which
cause
corrosion
or
scratches
should
never
be
used.
Remove
stubborn
oil
and
grease
with
a
cloth
moistened
with
Stoddard
solvent.
Take
special
care
to
make
sure
that
the
exterior
graphics
are
not
touched
by
the
solvent.
For
complete
care
of
exterior
graphics,
refer
to
the
Maintenance
Manual.
To
seal
any
minor
surface
chips
or
scratches
and
protect
against
corrosion,
the
airplane
should
be
waxed
regularly
with
a
good
automotive
wax
applied
in
accordance
with
the
manufacturer's
instructions.
If
the
airplane
is
operated
in
a
seacoast
or
other
salt
water
environment,
it
must
be
washed
and
waxed
more
frequently
to
assure
adequate
protection.
Special
care
should
be
taken
to
seal
around
rivet
heads
and
skin
laps,
which
are the
areas
most
susceptible
to
corrosion.
A
heavier
coating
of
wax
on
the
leading
edges
of
the
wings
and
tail
and
on
the
cowl
nose
cap
and
propeller
spinner
will
help
reduce
the
abrasion
encountered
in
these
areas.
Reapplication
of
wax
will
generally
be
necessary
after
cleaning
with
soap
solution
or
after
chemical
deicing
operations.
When
the
airplane
is
parked
outside
in
cold
climates
and
it
is
necessary
to
remove
ice
before
flight,
care
should
be
taken
to
protect
the
painted
surfaces
during
ice
removal
with
chemical
liquids.
Isopropyl
alcohol
will
satisfactorily
remove
ice
accumulations
without
damaging
the
paint.
However,
keep
the
isopropyl
alcohol
away
from
the
windshield
and
cabin
windows
since
it
will
attack
the
plastic
and
may
cause
it
to
craze.
