Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth
soaked
in
full-strength windshield washer solvent. Then
rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and
replaced when 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.

Cleaning the Outside
of
Your
Geo
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 (mild detergent) soaps.
Don’t use cleaning agents that
are
petroleum based, or
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
Geo
by
hand 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
Geo
has
a “basecoat/clearcoat” paint
fish.
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 basecoatklearcoat paint finish
may
dull the
finish or leave swirl
marks.
