be waxed to protect against road salt in areas where it is used during winter. . CAUTION Do not use abrasive cleaners when washing the wheels. . Do not apply wheel cleaners to the wheels when they are hot. The wheel temperature should be the same as ambient temperature. Rinse the wheel to completely remove the cleaner within 15 minutes after the cleaner is applied. . Use a water-based tire dressing. The coating on the tire dissolves more easily with an oil-based tire dressing. Apply a light coat of tire dressing to help prevent it from entering the tire tread/ grooves (where it would be difficult to remove). Wipe off excess tire dressing using a dry towel. Make sure the tire dressing is completely removed from the tire tread/ grooves. Allow the tire dressing to dry as recommended by tire dressing manufacturer. . . Aluminum alloy wheels Wash regularly with a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution, especially during winter months in areas where road salt is used. Salt could discolor the wheels if not removed. The dark chrome coat wheel is specially coated to a distinctive color. It may discolor to black depending on storage conditions. If only one wheel is changed, it may be different color with other wheels. If the wheel is changed, consult with a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. CHROME PARTS Clean chrome parts regularly with a nonabrasive chrome polish to maintain the finish. . OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES After driving on a road where salt is used in winter, immediately wash and clean the outside door handles that are provided with a special coating. This will keep the beautiful finish longer. DRY CARBON FIBER REAR SPOILER (if so equipped) The dry carbon fiber rear spoiler is made using the same composite method used for race cars. The dry carbon fiber rear spoiler has a special coating to enhance the feel of the material. TIRE DRESSING NISSAN does not recommend the use of tire dressings. Tire manufacturers apply a coating to the tires to help reduce discoloration of the rubber. If a tire dressing is applied to the tires, it may react with the coating and form a compound. This compound may come off the tire while driving and stain the vehicle paint. If you choose to use a tire dressing, take the following precautions: NOTICE Follow the directions below to avoid staining or discoloring the wheels: . Do not use a cleaner that uses strong acid or alkali contents to clean the wheels. Appearance and care NOTICE . Do not use chemical agents (for example: wax, coating agent, compound agent, etc.) on the dry carbon fiber rear spoiler because they can damage the material. When the rear 7-4
