Cleaning the Outside
of
Your
Oldsmobile
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 (non-detergent)
soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents 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.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing
of
your Oldsmobile may be necessary to
remove residue from the paint finish.
You can get
GM
approved cleaning
products from your dealer. (See the
Index
under
Appearance Care.)
Your Oldsmobile has
a
“basecoat/
clearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat
gives more depth and gloss to the
colored basecoat.
Aluminum Wheels
(IF
so
EQUIPPED)
Your aluminum wheels have
a
protective coating similar to the painted
surface of your Oldsmobile. Don’t use
strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish,
or other abrasive cleaners on them
because you could damage this coating.
After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be
applied.
