Painted Surfaces After washing your motorcycle , coat the painted surfaces, both metal and plastic, with a commer- cially available motorcycle/automobile wax. Wax should be applied once every three months or as conditions require. Always use non-abrasive products and apply them according to the instructions on the container. Windshield And Other Plastic Parts After washing, use a soft cloth to gently dry off plastic parts. When dry, treat the windshield, headlight lens, and other unpainted plastic parts with an
approved
plastic
cleaner / polisher
product . CAUTION Plastic parts may deteriorate and break if they come in contact with chemical substances or household cleaning products such as gasoline, brake fluid, window cleaners, thread- locking agents, or other harsh chemicals. If a plastic part comes in contact with any harsh chemical substance, wash it off with water and a mild neutral detergent immediately, and they will damage the plastic parts' finish. Chrome and Aluminum Chrome plating and uncoated aluminum parts exposed to road salt or salt in the air in coastal areas are susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned. Coated aluminum should be cleaned with a mild neutral detergent and finished with a spay polish. Both painted and unpainted aluminum wheels can be cleaned with non-acid based wheel spray cleaners. -107- |
