HEAD AND TAIL LAMP CLEANING INFORMATION
Model
ALL
DESCRIPTION:
This bulletin provides information about how to correctly clean Hyundai head and tail lamps. It is recommended that dealership personnel and customers
not use solvents such as paint thinner, gasoline or corrosive solvent when removing accumulated dust or stains on the lamps.
TO CLEAN HEAD LAMPS:
1. To clean head lamps and tail lamps, wash them with a mild auto body shampoo and water. Completely wet the lamp before wiping to prevent the
dirt from scratching the plastic.
2. If the lens surface becomes scratched, use a fine auto body polishing compound and a rotary buffer to polish out the scratches.
-
Use a clearcoat compatable polishing compound
-
Use a lamb's wool pad
-
Do not let the buffer exceed 1200 RPM
-
Do not allow the lamp lens to get hot. They should not get "hot to the touch", just warm.
3. Do not use solvents such as paint thinner, gasoline or corrosive solvent as a cleaner when washing head or tail lamps.
-
Solvents will cause cracks on head lamp and tail lamp lenses. The cracking may not occur immediately. If the solvent permeates the surface of
the plastic lens, it increases the likelihood that the lens will crack under thermal stress when the lights are turned on.
WARRANTY INFORMATION:
NOTE: Lamps with a hazed appearance from the micro-cracking caused by the use of solvents are not eligible for warranty replacement.
