268 Vehicle Care
Note
The products listed are examples
and may not be available. Use this
table as a guide if an equivalent
product is required.
Caution
Do not allow the cleaning solution
to soak on the surface;
immediately rinse with clear
water.
Store Indoors or Under Cover
Whenever Possible
Just like paint, vinyl graphics are
degraded by prolonged exposure to
sun and atmospheric pollutants,
particularly on the horizontal
surfaces such as the bonnet
and roof.
Whenever possible, store the
vehicle in a garage, or at least in a
shaded area during the day. At night
protect the vehicle from dew or rain,
which may contain acidic pollutants
(a common problem in many large
metropolitan areas). When a garage
is not available, consider using a
cloth car cover at night.
If your graphics start to discolour or
turn brown, immediately remove the
graphics from the vehicle to avoid
staining the underlying paint.
Exterior Lamps
Headlamp and other lamp covers
are made of plastic. Do not use any
abrasive, solvent based cleaners or
caustic agents and do not
dry-clean them.
Air Intakes
When washing the vehicle, clear
any debris from the air intakes
between the bonnet and windscreen
and below the front bumper.
Polishing and Waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly. At the
latest, wax when water no longer
beads on the panel surface.
Polishing is necessary only if the
paint has become dull or if solid
deposits have become attached
to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms
a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts and vehicle
graphics must not be treated with
wax or polishing agents.
Windows and Windscreen
Wiper Blades
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois
leather together with window
cleaner and insect remover.
.
Never use abrasive cleaners to
clean glass.
.
Refer to a Holden Dealer for
windscreen washer additive.
.
Old wiper blades can cause
windscreen scratching.
Regularly inspect and
replace them.
Caution
Do not operate the wiper blades
by hand as this damages the
wiper drive mechanism.
