INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONSOLE (HARLEY-DAVIDSON
EDITION ONLY)
Your vehicle’s instrument panel 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 of the instrument panel and console, 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-based products.
Dust the high gloss areas with a clean, dry cloth, or use Motorcraft
Dusting Cloth (ZC-24 or ZC-25) or Motorcraft Dusting Cloth Mitts
(ZC-47).
For general cleaning, use mild, soapy water and a soft, damp cloth, then
dry with a clean, dry cloth, or use or use Motorcraft Dash & Vinyl
Cleaner (ZC-38-A) or Motorcraft Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner
(ZC-23).
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, or Motorcraft
Dash & Vinyl Cleaner (ZC-38-A), 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-based products.
• Do not use exterior paint waxes or sealants.
Dust the low gloss areas with a clean, dry cloth, or use Motorcraft

(ZC-47).
