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
or other material may be
on
the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside
of
the windshield
with
GM
Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami Powder@
(GM
Part
No.
10500
I
1).
The windshield is clean
if
beads do not
form when you rinse
it
with water.
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. (See "Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants"
in
the Index.)
Cleaning the Outside
of
Your Aurora
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
liq~~id 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.
