Finish
Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Aurora by
hand may be necessary
to
remove residue from the paint
finish.
You
can get
GM
approved cleaning products
from your retailer. (See “Appearance Care and
Materials’’ in the Index.)
Your Aurora 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 basecoatklearcoat 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 Aurora garaged or covered
whenever possible.
Aluminum Wheels
Your aluminum wheels have
a
protective coating similar
to the painted surface
of
your vehicle. Don’t use strong
soaps, chemicals, chrome polish, abrasive cleaners or
abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could
damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax
may be applied.
I
NOTICE:
Don’t use an automatic vehicle wash that has
hard silicon carbide cleaning brushes. These
brushes can take the protective coating
off
your
aluminum wheels.
