CLEANING THE VEHICLE
The painted surfaces of the vehicle should be sponged down with water as noted in the
following section and dried off with chamois leather.
BODY WASHING
Painted parts should be first washed down using a low pressure hose so that the dirt and
grime become soft.
When the dirt and grime became soft, sponge off using one of the « car type» shampoos
available; for instance «Rolene» or «Teepol» (water solution 3 - 5% weight).
Dry off using a clean chamois leather to eliminate water marks.
Notice - For cleaning the exposed surfaces of the engine use paraffin (for draying up the
vehicle use a brush and clean rags).
Spots: After having washed and dried the body as we have said before, eventual spots
caused by tar, grease, oil etc. can be removed by rubbing gently with a soft cloth or
cottonwool dipped in oil or turpentine.
After this operations rinse immediately the surface with the above mentioned shampoo (in
the correct solution), and with plenty of water.
The insects squashed on windshield, on headlamps etc., if dried, cannot be removed with
the simple water, but with a solution of warm water and car shampoo.
Polishing: If after the operations, as previously described, the original condition of the
painted surfaces is not restored or if for an insufficient care for sun, rain or dust effects the
paint is damaged it is necessary to carry out the polishing.
This operation is carried out in the following manner: apply a thin coat of good quality wax,
polish and shine with a soft cloth.
Rub gently the surfaces to be polished in a side to side manner.
Notice - Always wash the scooter before polishing.
NOTICE
Washing and polishing operations should not be carried out in the sun, particularly during
the summer when the bodywork is warm. Under no circumstances should petrol or Diesel
oil be used for washing painted surfaces or plastic material as they will deteriorate.
