Finish Care
Windshield and Wiper Blades
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your vehicle by
hand may be necessary to remove residue from the
paint finish. You can get GM-approved cleaning products
from your dealer. See
GM
Vehicle Care/Appearance
Materials
on
page
5-86.
If your vehicle has a “basecoat/clearcoat” 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 basecoatlclearcoat paint
finish.
Notice:
Machine compounding or aggressive
polishing on
a basecoatklearcoat paint finish may
dull the finish
or
leave swirl marks.
Foreign materials such as calcium chloride and other
salts, ice melting agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, bird
droppings, chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc.,
can damage your vehicle’s finish
if
they remain
on painted surfaces. Wash the vehicle as soon as
possible. If necessary, use non-abrasive cleaners that
are marked safe for painted surfaces
to
remove
foreign matter.
Exterior painted surfaces are subject to aging, weather
and chemical fallout that can take their
toll
over a
period of years. You can help to keep the paint finish
looking new by keeping your vehicle garaged or covered
whenever possible.
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield
washer, or
if
the wiper blade chatters when running,
wax, sap or other material may be on the blade or
windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a full-strength
glass cleaning liquid. The windshield is clean
if
beads do
not form when you rinse it with water.
Grime from the windshield will stick to the wiper blades
and affect their performance. Clean the blade by
wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full-strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade
with water.
Check the wiper blades and clean them as necessary;
replace blades that look worn.
Aluminum or Chrome-Plated Wheels
Your vehicle may be equipped with either aluminum or
chrome-plated wheels.
Keep your wheels clean using a soft clean cloth with
mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water. After
rinsing thoroughly, dry with a
soft
clean towel.
A
wax
may then be applied.
