To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Acerbis side panels:
- Clean regularly with mild soap and water. A soft cloth or sponge is recommended.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic finish.
- For stubborn dirt or grime, a degreaser designed for plastics can be used cautiously. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Allow panels to air dry or wipe dry with a clean, soft microfiber towel.
