SEATS AND FABRIC TRIM

Cloth Seats and Fabric Trim. The cloth seats and fabric trim in your Waldoch are both soil and stain resistant - most spills can be removed with a damp cloth when handled in a timely manner. For more serious stains, use a high quality upholstery cleaner.

Leather Seats. Genuine leather seats may bear slight striations, grain irregularities or other natural characteristic of leather which enhances its beauty.

Note: For vehicles with tilt steering, always tilt the steering wheel all the way up when getting out of your vehicle to prevent excessive wear on the driver's seat.

Leather seats are treated to protect against dirt and water stains. Dust and clean your leather seating regularly using a quality leather cleaner. The Waldoch Custom Centers carries several.

Note: Never use furniture polish, oil, varnish, ammonia or anything abrasive to clean leather surfaces.

PASSENGER RESTRAINTS

If the seat belts or shoulder harnesses in your Waldoch become soiled, they can be cleaned with mind soap and water, using a sponge or brush.

CUSTOM WHEELS AND TIRES

Your Waldoch may be equipped with aftermarket tires and wheels. Check tires for proper pressure. Refer to manufacturer's limited warranty and individual product owner's manual. Re-tighten lug nuts after the first 100 miles.

CUSTOM WHEELS CARE

We recommend you use mild soap and water on a wheel cleaning product that is designed for your type of wheel. Follow these tips to maintain custom wheels:

  1. First, allow your wheels to cool down before cleaning. Cleaning hot wheels can cause brake dust to stain wheels.
  2. Make sure you've selected the right car care products for your vehicle. Read and follow directions carefully.
  3. Clean one wheel at a time to prevent cleaner from drying on wheels and becoming difficult to rinse off. Rinse wheels completely.
  4. Enhance and protect your custom wheels by applying a coat of paste wax after cleaning.
  5. For heavy accumulations of road grime, corrosion, etc. use a soft bottle-cleaning type brush to clean custom wheels. Be careful of brushes with hard or stiff bristles - they may scratch the surface

If you live in areas where road salts are used during winter months, we suggest maintaining your wheels on a more frequent basis during this time. The ingredients in road salt may harm the finish of your wheels if not properly maintained. There is a wide variety of products available through the Waldoch Custom Centers.

Note: Some aftermarket custom wheels have lug nuts not sized for the manufacturer's lug wrench that the vehicle is equipped with from the factory. In such cases, Waldoch provides the correct lug nut wrench.

ROOF RACKS

Your Waldoch may be equipped with an aerodynamic roof rack.

There are many truck accessories available for the aerodynamic rack, including ski, bicycle, and sailboard carriers. Call the Waldoch Custom Centers for more information about ordering these truck accessories.

Note: Be sure to check clearance when passing under parking ramp entrances, garage doors, low hanging wires and any overhead obstructions.

NOSE GUARD/HOOD SHIELDS

Your Waldoch may be equipped with an aerodynamically-designed nose guard. It is mounted on the hood of your Waldoch to help protect from bugs, rocks and road debris.

RUNNING BOARDS

Your conversion may be equipped with aluminum, stainless steel, urethane or fiberglass running boards. When entering or exiting your vehicle, only step tread areas should be used.

BUMPERS AND GRILLE GUARDS

If your Waldoch is equipped with these items, special care needs to be given to their chrome finish. Use a quality chrome polish available through the Waldoch Custom Centers.

SUSPENSION SYSTEMS

For those vehicles equipped with custom suspensions systems, information and maintenance instructions can be found on a sticker located on the driver's side visor.

LIGHTED EXTERIOR VISORS

Exterior visor lights only operate when vehicle's headlights are turned on.

Your Waldoch vehicle may be equipped with a one piece or sprayed box liner. This product is designed to protect your vehicle's bed finish from scratches and dents.

BED MATS

Your Waldoch conversion may be equipped with a rubber bed mat. This product prevents cargo from sliding around truck bed and protects your vehicles finish.

CUSTOM PAINT AND CUSTOM VINYL GRAPHICS

Waldoch exterior paint and vinyl graphics are applied using the very finest of materials. To keep your Waldoch finish clean and shiny, wash it regularly using a mild automotive detergent. For added protection, you may want to occasionally apply a high quality car wax. Do not use any type of abrasive cleaners on the exterior of your Waldoch - they will scratch the fine finish. If you have additional questions regarding the exterior of your Waldoch, please contact the Waldoch Custom Centers.
