CAB Cleaning the Chassis Cleaning Interior Vinyl and Upholstery To allow enough time for your truck's finish to cure, wait at least thirty days after the date of manufacture before waxing. NOTE Hose dirt and grime from the entire chassis. Then, if an oil leak develops, you will be able to detect it easier. Wipe vinyl upholstery and lining with a good commercial upholstery cleaner. Do not use acetone or lacquer thinner. Do not apply wax in the hot sun. Corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on the underbody.
If these materials are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on underbody parts such as fuel lines, frames, floor pan, and exhaust system, even though they have been provided with corrosion protection. Clean fabric upholstery with upholstery shampoo specially formulated for this purpose. Follow instructions on the container. Never dust off dry surfaces with a cloth because it will scratch the finishes. 5 At least every spring, flush these materials from the under body with plain water. Be sure to clean any area where mud and other debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being flushed.
If desired, your dealer can do this service for you. (03/17) Y53-6077-1B1 5-75
