356 Vehicle Care Instrument Panel, Door Panels and Console (FX appearance package) Your vehicle's instrument panel, door panels and console are uniquely painted with both high and low gloss paints that require special care. The high gloss area is similar to that of the vehicle's exterior; the low gloss area is designed to help protect the driver from undesirable windshield reflection. High gloss paint area In order to maintain the finish, the high gloss areas should be treated similar to the that of exterior paint or glossy plastic surfaces. When cleaning the high gloss areas: • Do not use paper towels or newspaper. • Do not use silicone or Teflon® (PTFE)-based products. Dust the high gloss areas with a clean, dry cloth, or use Motorcraft Dusting Cloth (ZC-24). For general cleaning, use mild, soapy water and a soft, damp cloth, then dry with a clean, dry cloth. For removal of fine scuffs and scratches, use Scotch-Brite® Microfiber Cloth or cheese cloth along with Motorcraft Premium Liquid Wax (ZC-53-A), Motorcraft Paint Sealant (ZC-45), or Motorcraft Custom Clear Coat Polish (ZC-8-A). Note: Removal of deep scuffs and scratches should be performed by an authorized dealer or an experienced repair facility. Low gloss paint area The low gloss area of the instrument panel's upper dash should be cleaned with mild, soapy water and a soft, damp cloth, then dried with a clean, dry cloth. When cleaning the low gloss areas: • Do not use paper towels or newspaper. • Do not use silicone or Teflon® (PTFE)-based products. • Do not use exterior paint waxes or sealants. Dust the low gloss areas with a clean, dry cloth, or use Motorcraft Dusting Cloth (ZC-24). 2013 F-150 (f12) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, February 2013 USA (fus)
