Protection of Exterior
Bright
Metal Parts
Bright
metal
parts
should
be
cleaned regularly to maintain lus-
ter. Washing with water
is
all that
is
usually required. However, G.M.
Chrome
Polish
may
be
used
on
CHROMEorSTAINLESS STEEL
trim
if
necessary.
Use
special
care
with
ALU-
MINUM trim. Never use auto or
chrome polish, steam or any caustic
soap to clean aluminum.
A coating of wax, rubbed to a
high polish,
is
recommended for all
bright metal parts.
Cleaning White Sidewall
Tires
Use a tire cleaner which
will
not
harm aluminum trim. A
stiff
brush
may be used with the cleaner to
remove road grime and dirt from
white sidewall tires.
Cleaning the Optional
Vinyl
Top
The top should be washed fre-
quently with neutral soap suds,
lukewarm water and a brush with
soft bristles. Rinse top with
suffi-
cient quantities of clear water to re-
move all traces of soap.
If
the top requires additional
cleaning after using soap and water,
a mild foaming cleanser can be
used. Rinse the whole top with
water; then apply a mild foaming
50
type cleanser on an area of approx-
imately two square feet. Scrub area
with a small soft bristle hand brush,
adding water
as
necessary until the
cleanser foams
to
a soapy consis-
tency. Remove the first accumu-
lated soilage with a cloth or sponge
before it can be ground into the top
material. Apply additional cleanser
to the area and scrub until the top
is
clean. Care must be exercised to
keep the cleanser from running onto
body finish
as
it
may cause streaks
if
allowed to run down and dry.
After
the
entire
top
has
been
cleaned, rinse generously with clear
water
to
remove
all
traces
of
cleanser. Do not use volatile cleaner
or household bleaching agents on
the top material.
