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 (non-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.)
Your vehicle has a “basecoatlclearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat gives more
depth and
gloss
to the colored basecoat.
Machine compounding
or
aggressive
polishing on
a basecoatlctearcoat
I
f
paint finish may
dull
the
finish
or
leave
swirl
marks.
