cool place, and be done frequently.
Dirt may produce abrasive function
and can damage the surface. Con鄄
taminated air or acid rain can dam鄄
age the painting and trims. In coastal
area where there is saline substance
on ground or chemicals in the dust,
special attention should be paid to
the maintenance of the vehicle bot鄄
tom. The dust and dirt can be re鄄
moved by lifting the vehicle. After
driving on a muddy road in winter,
determine that all dirt at the vehicle
bottom has been removed.
Use steam to clean the mud accu鄄
mulated at vehicle bottom. Refer to
the cleaning guide for vehicle and
instructions of manufacturer. Never
use soap, chemical cleaning agent
or hot water. Use clean sponge or
cloth. Never rub with excessive force
to avoid damage to accessories. For
any stain that cannot be removed
one time, wet it first, and clean it af鄄
ter a period of time. To clean wheels
with white sidewall, use a hard brush
or wire washer with soap. To clean a
plastic wheel hood, use clean
sponge or soft cloth. To clean an a鄄
luminum alloy wheel, use mild soap
or a natural cleaning agent. Never
use an abrasive cleaning agent.
Metallic surfaces should be protect鄄
ed, polished and waxed. As alu鄄
minum is likely got corroded, special
care should be taken to protect alu鄄
minum alloy wheels in winter. If the
vehicle has run on a saline road,
wash the wheels afterwards. Rinse
the wheel immediately after washing.
Soap solution dried on the surface
will leave strips. When it is mild and
the humidity is low,
rinse each part immediately after
washing to prevent strips. After rins鄄
ing, dry the vehicle with wet antelope
skin or soft and moisture absorbing
cloth. If it is not dried, a vehicle run鄄
ning with water on surface may leave
strips on it. Never crunch your vehi鄄
cle with any object as this will dam鄄
age the protection layer.Any scratch鄄
ing or denting on painted surface
should be mended with original paint
to prevent rusting. To protect the
painting and prevent rusting, clean
your vehicle at least once a month.
Rust prevention and appearance caring
94
Special care should be taken to re鄄
moving saline, mud and other dirt on
the mudguard.Causes to paint dam鄄
age may be tar, attachments, resin,
insect, bird excrement and other
stain dropped on the painted surface
during rapid running of the vehicle. If
such stain cannot be completely re鄄
moved with fresh water, use mild
soap. The surface must be rinsed
after washing with soap. Never let
soap solution dry up on the painted
surface.
Cleaning of stain
Do not use gasoline, powerful clean鄄
ing agent or corrosive agent, as they
may damage the protection layer.
Use dry cloth dipped with lubricating
oil or a bug and tar cleaner to re鄄
move tar. Use lukewarm water and
mild soap or vehicle cleaning agent
to remove insect or resin. If the
painted surface has lost brightness,
use a special vehicle polishing a鄄
gent.
Polishing and waxing
Wash and dry your vehicle before
polishing or waxing or applying gen鄄
eral cleaning agent or waxing agent.
Use qualified products and follow the
instructions of manufacturer.
Re-waxing
When water beads have formed on
the painted surface and extend to
large areas, it is necessary to polish
and wax the vehicle again.
Maintenance of vehicle bumper
Special preventive measures should
be taken for the bumper of JAC ve鄄
hicle, as described below:
音 Take care not to spill electrolytic
liquid or braking liquid onto the
bumper. If it takes place, wash it with
fresh water.
音 Wipe the bumper surface gently
during washing. The bumper is made
of plastics and its surface may be
damaged by wiping with excessive
force. Use lukewarm water and mild
soap or vehicle cleaning agent.
音 Never expose the bumper to high
temperature. For example, in case of
re -painting, the bumper should be
removed first, to prevent adverse ef鄄
fect of high temperature in the paint鄄
ing chamber on the bumper.
