must be turned off. Remove any accessories
that may be damaged or interfere with the
car wash equipment.
See Power Assist Steps 0 31 for cleaning
information.
Rinse the vehicle well, before washing and
after, to remove all cleaning agents
completely. If they are allowed to dry on
the surface, they could stain.
Dry the finish with a soft, clean chamois or
an all-cotton towel to avoid surface
scratches and water spotting.
Finish Care
Application of aftermarket clearcoat sealant/
wax materials is not recommended.
If painted surfaces are damaged, see your
dealer to have the damage assessed and
repaired. Foreign materials such as calcium
chloride and other salts, ice melting agents,
road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc., can
damage the vehicle's finish if they remain
on painted surfaces. Wash the vehicle as
soon as possible. If necessary, use
non-abrasive cleaners that are marked safe
for painted surfaces to remove foreign
matter.
Occasional hand waxing or mild polishing
should be done to remove residue from the
paint finish. See your dealer for approved
cleaning products.
Do not apply waxes or polishes to uncoated
plastic, vinyl, rubber, decals, simulated
wood, or flat paint as damage can occur.
Caution
Machine compounding or aggressive
polishing on a basecoat/clearcoat paint
finish may damage it. Use only
non-abrasive waxes and polishes that are
made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint finish
on the vehicle.
To keep the paint finish looking new, keep
the vehicle garaged or covered whenever
possible.
Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Moldings
Caution
Failure to clean and protect the bright
metal moldings can result in a hazy
white finish or pitting. This damage

prevent damage always follow these
cleaning instructions:

Be sure the molding is cool to the touch
before applying any cleaning solution.

aluminum, chrome or stainless steel.
Some cleaners are highly acidic or contain
alkaline substances and can damage the
moldings.
.
Always dilute a concentrated cleaner
according to the manufacturers
instructions.
.
Do not use cleaners that are not intended
for automotive use.
.
Use a nonabrasive wax on the vehicle
after washing to protect and extend the
molding finish.
Spray-In Bedliner Care
A spray-in bedliner is a permanent coating
that bonds to the truck bed and cannot be
removed. Promptly rinse the bedliner surface
following a chemical spill to avoid
permanent damage.
