This is page 49 of a Ford owner's manual (the "Maintenance" section, continuing "Vehicle Care"), scanned from what the uploader labels a 1973 manual filed with a 1974 Ford Bronco. The page covers exterior and interior care instructions: it advises frequent washing to prevent discoloration, using Ford Tar and Road Oil Remover for tar and road oil, and warns against scouring aluminum or chrome with steel wool or abrasive products. A section on the outside rearview mirror cautions against dry cloths, abrasives, and ice scrapers, recommending only a soft cloth with mild detergent and water. The Polishing section recommends Ford-brand polish and notes that dealers offer professional polishing or DIY polishing kits. Interior care guidance covers removing dust with a whisk broom or vacuum, cleaning vinyl with leather/vinyl upholstery cleaner, and cleaning cloth fabrics with only the foam of a mild soap solution. Seat belt webbing may be cleaned with mild soap, but bleaching or redyeing is not recommended due to possible strength loss. The page ends by beginning the "Tires and Tire Care" section, stressing proper inflation pressures, load limits, and never exceeding the G.A.W.R. ratings on the certification decal located on the driver's door pillar.
