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.
1050011.
The windshield
is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it
with water.
Grirne from the windshield
will
stick to the wiper blades and
afkct
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 Index.)

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
an
all-cotton towel to avoid
surface scratches and water spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause water to enter
your vehicle.
Cleaning Exterior LampsLenses
Use lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a liquid
hand, dish or vehicle washing (mild detergent) soap to
clean exterior lamps and lenses. Follow instructions
under “Washing Your Vehicle.”
