∆
WARNING
• See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
∆
CAUTION
• Do not use detergents or cleaning solvents that contain ammonia, aromatic solvents, or alkali

Wash spilled battery acid from body panels immediately.

CLEANING THE VEHICLE

See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
Each vehicle is equipped with an ABS/DR acrylic cap front body and an aluminum rear body and frame. The
cargo bed on the Pioneer 1200 is powder-coated steel. The Pioneer 1200SE has an aluminum cargo bed.
For regular front body cleaning, use automotive cleaning solutions with a sponge or soft cloth, or use Club
Car's Vehicle Care Kit (CCI P/N AM10021). Repair kits and cleaning/polishing products are also available at
most hardware stores where ABS/DR acrylic (hot tubs and shower/tub units) are sold.
To remove oxidation or discoloration from aluminum, use a commercially available aluminum cleaner paste
and fine grade (No. 00) steel wool. Battery acid, fertilizers, tars, asphalt, creosote, paint, or chewing gum
should be removed immediately to prevent possible stains.
Club Car does not recommend any type of pressure washing or steam cleaning. Both can create water dam-
age to electrical components and subsequent component failure. Normal residential water pressure is ade-
quate for exterior cleaning.
For seats, use a solution of 10% liquid soap and warm water applied with a soft cloth. For embedded dirt, a
soft bristle brush may be used. For heavy soiling, difficult stains, or scratches, blemishes, or other body dam-
age, see Seat on page 4-4. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Dispose of waste water properly.

FRONT BODY REPAIR

See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.

ABRASIONS AND HAZE

The original gloss can be restored by hand buffing with "Novus Plastic Polish", "Mirror Glaze Professional
Formula Number 17", Club Car's Vehicle Care Kit (CCI P/N AM10021), or similar polishing compounds. A
buffing wheel with a small amount of automotive type paste wax applied to the pad may also be used. Use a
very light touch, because ABS/DR acrylic polishes easily. Johnson's
final treatment.
