using chemical cleaners developed for this
purpose,
be
certain they are
safe
for
use
on
painted surfaces.
FINISH
DAMAGE
Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the finish should be repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will corrode
quickly and may develop into major repair
expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired
using touch-up materials available from
your Oldsmobile dealer. Larger areas
of
damage to the fmish can be corrected in
your dealer's body and paint shop.

UNDERBODY
MAINTENANCE
Corrosive materials used for
ice
and
snow
removal and dust . control accumulate on
the underbody. If allowed to remain, these
materials can result in accelerated rusting
and affect such components as fuel lines,
frame, floor pan and exhaust system. At
least once each year, preferably after a
winter's exposure, these corrosive materials
should
be
removed
by
flushing the
underbody with plain water. Special
attention should be
given
to
cleaning out
those areas where mud and other foreign
materials collect.
If
desired, your Oldsmobile dealer can
perform this
service
for you. Your dealer
can also provide recommendations
on
undercoating materials
to
help protect
your
car
from corrosion.
WINDSHIELD
WIPER
BLADES
The accumulation
of
salt, road grime, and
other foreign materials on the wiping
element
of
the wiper blade assembly can
result in unsatisfactory wiping action.
When
the effects
of
this accumulation are
noted, the wiping element should
be
cleaned using a wet sponge or cloth and a
mild
detergent. The presence
of
road
fIlm
on the windshield can nullify the effect
of
proper wiper blade maintenance. There-
fore, whenever hazing or smearing starts to
occur, clean the windshield with a mild
non-abrasive type cleaner.
