PLASTIC (NON-PAINTED) EXTERIOR PARTS

Use only approved products to clean plastic parts. These products are

available from your authorized dealer.

• For routine cleaning, use Motorcraft威 Detail Wash (ZC-3-A).

• If tar or grease spots are present, use Motorcraft威 Bug and Tar

Remover (ZC-42).

WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES

The windshield, rear and side windows and the wiper blades should be

cleaned regularly. If the wipers do not wipe properly, substances on the

vehicle’s glass or the wiper blades may be the cause. These may include

hot wax treatments used by commercial car washes, water repellent

coatings, tree sap, or other organic contamination; these contaminants

may cause squeaking or chatter noise from the blades, and streaking and

smearing of the windshield. To clean these items, follow these tips:

• The windshield, rear windows and side windows may be cleaned with

a non-abrasive cleaner such as Motorcraft威 Ultra-Clear Spray Glass

Cleaner (ZC-23), available from your authorized dealer.

• The wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or

Motorcraft威 Premium Windshield Washer Concentrate (ZC-32-A) in

the U.S., or Premium Quality Windshield Washer Fluid [CXC-37-(A, B,

D, or F)] in Canada, available from your authorized dealer. This

washer fluid contains special solution in addition to alcohol which

helps to remove the hot wax deposited on the wiper blade and

windshield from automated car wash facilities. Be sure to replace

wiper blades when they appear worn or do not function properly.

• Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.

• Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.

If you cannot remove those streaks after cleaning with the glass cleaner

or if the wipers chatter and move in a jerky motion, clean the outer

surface of the windshield and the wiper blades using a sponge or soft

cloth with a neutral detergent or mild-abrasive cleaning solution. After

cleaning, rinse the windshield and wiper blades with clean water. The

windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse the windshield

with water.
