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 Oldsmobile garaged or covered
whenever possible.
Aluminum Wheels
(If
Equipped)
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 darnage the surface of these wheels.
Tires
To
clean your tires, use a stiff brush with a tire cleaner.
I
NOTICE:
When applying a tire dressing always take care to
wipe off any overspray
or
splash from all painted
surfaces
on
the body
or
wheels
of
the vehicle.
Petroleum-based products may damage the
paint finish.
