should be washed with a mild neu-
tral detergent and finished with a spray
polish. Aluminum wheels, both painted
and unpainted can be cleaned with
special non-acid based wheel spray
cleaners.

Leather, Vinyl, and Rubber

If your vehicle has leather acces-
sories, special care must be taken.
Use a leather cleaner/treatment to
clean and care for leather accessories.
Washing leather parts with detergent
and water will damage them, shorten-
ing their life.

Vinyl parts should be washed with the
rest of the vehicle, then treated with a
vinyl treatment.

The sidewalls of tires and other rub-
ber components should be treated with
a rubber protectant to help prolong their
useful life.

Where to be Careful

Avoid spraying water with any great
force near the following places.

e Disc brake master cylinder and
caliper.

e Under the seat and behind the outer
middle fairings - if water gets into the
fuse box or battery, it can ground out
the spark. When this happens the
vehicle will not operate properly and
the affected parts must be wiped dry.
