Periodic cleaning will preserve the beauty and life of bright metals. Wash with clear water, or if the parts are very dirty, use Multi-Purpose Cleaner Concentrate B8A-19523-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESR-M14P4-A. Using a clean, soft cloth or a sponge and water, rinse and wipe the parts dry. Custom Bright Metal Cleaner 8A-19522-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESR-M5B194-B may be used sparingly to remove salt, road chemicals and corrosion deposits from chrome-plated parts. Do not scour aluminum or chrome finished parts with steel wool or polish them with products containing abrasives. Custom Silicone Gloss Polish B7AZ-19530-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESR-M11B26-A will provide excellent protection for all bright metal parts.
