Spot Cleaning
Don't use gasoline, strong solvents or
corrosive cleaning agents. These can
damage the finish of the car. To remove
road tar, use turpentine on a clean, soft
cloth. Be gentle.
To remove dead insects or tree sap, use
warm water and mild soap or car-wash-
ing solution. Soak the spot and rub gen-
tly. If the paint has lost its luster, use a
commercial car-cleaning polish.

Polishing and Waxing
A good coat of wax is a barrier between
your paint and contaminate. Keeping a
good coat of wax on your vehicle will help
protect it.
Always wash and dry the car before pol-
ishing or waxing or using a combination
cleaner and wax. Use a good quality
commercial product and follow the
manufacturer's directions on the con-
tainer. Polish and wax the bright trim
pieces as well as the paint.
