GROUND HANDLING AND
SERVICING HANDBOOK
RIALS.
(2) Use of solvents:
NOTE: • We recommend that you apply a corrosion inhibitor to metal
surfaces independently of the cleaning material that you use.
Metal surfaces are normally treated or anodized to prevent
corrosion. Normal wear and abnormal abuse cause corrosion
and it is always a factor that you must consider.
• Do not scour or abrade surfaces. Corrosion protection is normally
a thin layer of anodizing or organic agent. Abrasion can
remove the protective film or coating.
• Do not permit solvent to evaporate on the surface.
• Do not use cloth a second time because this can redeposit
contaminants on the surface.
• Keep the platings away from the sun. Long exposures discolor
the finish.
• You must clean the platings every two weeks.
• Avoid spills on the finished surface. If it occurs clean immediately.
(a) Dampen a clean dry cotton cloth with Windex. Pour it on the cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE HARSH OR AMMONIATED CLEANING
AGENTS ON A FINISH WHICH WAS SEALED BY A
CLEAR COAT.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE FORCE DURING CLEANING PROCE-
DURES.
CAUTION: USE ONLY SOFT NON-SCRATCHING CLOTH.
(b) Lightly dust the metal surfaces with the Windex. Repeat the applications
as necessary to remove all dirt. For oxidation, powdery white corrosion,
use corrosion inhibitor/cleaner.
(c) Use a new soft paper towel and gently dust the surface to make sure
that it is dried.
NOTE: If the parts remain slightly wet, stains appears.
(d) Use a clean cloth to apply a thin layer of turtle liquid wax to the platings.
NOTE: The turtle liquid wax protects the plated surfaces.
(e) Gently wipe the turtle liquid wax off in a circular motion until the wax disappears.
