Cleaning Glass Surfaces
Glass should be cleaned often.
GM
Glass Cleaner
(GM
Part
No.
1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner
will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films on
interior glass.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may
cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the inside rear
window, since they may have to be scraped
off
later. If
abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged.
Any temporary license should not be attached across the
defogger grid.
Cleaning the Outside
of
the
Windshield and Wiper Blades
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
GM
Windshield
Cleaner, Bon
Ami@
Powder (non-scratching glass
cleaning powder),
GM
Part
No.
105001.1. 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 atfat 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.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them
last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak.
Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth at least
every six months. During very cold, damp weather
more frequent application may be required. (See
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the
Maintenance Schedule booklet.)
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.
