Chrome and
Aluminum Surfaces
To
prevent rust, keep chromed parts
clean and protected with wax at all
times, especially in winter conditions
where the roads are salted.
• If necessary, use a commercial
chrome cleaner to remove light
rust.
• Chrome surfaces are best
cleaned with fresh water. Wipe
dry to preserve their luster. A
commercial chrome cleaner will
remove light rust. After cleaning,
wax at surfaces and apply a thin
coat of rust preventive lubricant
around bolts or other fasteners.
• Clean aluminum wheels and
bumpers with warm water. Tar
remover will get rid of heavy
deposits of road grime. To prevent
spotting, wipe aluminum surfaces
dry after washing.
• Under corrosive conditions, such
as driving on salted roads, clean
aluminum parts with steam or high
pressure water from a hose. A
mild soap solution will help. Rinse
thoroughly.
