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. fdways use waxes and polishes that are
non-abrasive and made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint finish.
NOTICE:
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on
a basecoat/clearcoat 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
or
Chrome
Wheels
Keep your wheels clean using a soft clean cloth with
mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water. After
rinsing thoroughly, dry with a soft clean towel.
A
wax
may then be applied.
The surface
of these wheels
is
similar to the painted
surface of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps,
chemicals, abrasive polishes, abrasive cleaners or
abrasive cleaning brushes on them because
you
could
damage
the
surface.
Don’t take your vehicle through an automatic car wash
that has silicon carbide tire cleaning brushes. These
brushes can also damage the surface
of
these wheels.
