Owners Manual

- 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 car washes may cause water to enter your vehicle.

Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Cadillac may be necessary to
remove residue from the paint finish. You can get
GM approved cleaning
products from your dealer. (See “Appearance Care”
in the Index.)
Your Cadillac has a “ba~ec~at/clearc~at” paint finish. The clearcoat gives
more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat. Always use waxes and polishes
that are non-abrasive and made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint finish.
NOTICE:
-
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a basecoat/
clearcoat paint finish may dull the finish
or leave swirl marks.
ALUMINUM WHEELS
Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted
surface
of your Cadillac. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome
polish, abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because
you could damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be
- applied.
.
NOTICE:
Don’t use an automatic vehicle wash that has hard silicon
carbide cleaning brushes. These brushes can take
off the
protective coating.
