Washing and Cleaning
THINK City has a dyed-throughout plastic
body. Wash with pH-neutral vehicle shampoo
in cool or lukewarm water. Rinse with clean
water and dry with a clean chamois or towel.
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight
or when the body is hot as this can cause
discoloration. Regular vehicle cleaner can be
used on the THINK City. For resistant stains,
special degrease detergents for vehicles
can be used.
Washing in Car Washes
!
CAUTION
Do not use car washes that use acid in the detergent. Some car
washes, especially brushless ones, use some acid for cleaning.
The acid may react with some plastic vehicle components,
causing them to crack. This could affect their appearance, and
also could cause them to not function properly. Always check
with your car wash to confirm that acid is not used.
THINK City can be washed in commercial car washes. Remove
the antenna and luggage racks beforehand.
Washing and Cleaning
!
CAUTION
• Remove the charge cable before washing the vehicle.
• THINK City should not be polished! Wax and soaps with
abrasives can damage the surface.
• Do not use strong soap or household detergents and
solvents; this can cause discoloration.
General Guidelines for Washing/Cleaning
It is important to clean the vehicle regularly, especially in
winter climates. Bird droppings and insects can damage the
body if not removed immediately. Dirt and salt spray should
also be removed as quickly as possible to avoid damage.
