Cleaning the Outside
of
the Windshield,
Backglass and Wiper Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material may be on the
blade or windshield.
Clean the outside
of
the windshield with
GM
Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami
Powder@
(GM
Part
No.
105001
1).
The windshield
is
clean if beads do not
form
when
you
rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in
full
strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse
the
blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when worn.
Cleaning the Outside
of
Your
Vehicle
The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth
of
color, gloss
retention and durability.
Washing Your Vehicle
The best way
to
preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep
it
clean by washing
it often with lukewarm or cold water.
Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps
or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (mild
detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that contain acid or abrasives.
All cleaning agents should be flushed promptly and
not
allowed to dry
on
the surface, or they could stain. Dry the finish with a
soft,
clean chamois or
a
100%
cotton towel
to
avoid surface scratches and water spotting.
High pressure vehicle washes may cause water to enter your vehicle.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing
or
mild polishing
of
your vehicle may be necessary
to
remove residue from the paint finish. You can get
GM
approved cleaning
products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care and Materials”
in
the
Index.)
Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts
Bright metal parts should be cleaned regularly
to
keep their luster. Washing
with water
is
all that
is
usually needed. However, you may use
GM
Chrome
Polish
on
chrome or stainless steel trim,
if
necessary.
