Interior Care - Chevrolet Corvette Owner's Manual

288 Vehicle Care
Composite Springs
Caution
Do not use acidic or corrosive
cleaning products, engine
degreasers, or aluminium
cleaning agents on fibreglass
springs as it may cause damage.
The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Use only
approved cleaners.
Body Damage
If the vehicle is damaged and
requires sheet metal repair or
replacement, make sure the body
repair shop applies anti-corrosion
material to parts repaired or
replaced to restore corrosion
protection.
Original manufacturer replacement
parts will provide the corrosion
protection while maintaining the
vehicle warranty.
Finish Damage
Quickly repair minor chips and
scratches with touch-up materials
available from your dealer. Larger
areas of finish damage can be
corrected in your dealer's body and
paint shop.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Airborne pollutants can fall upon
and attack painted vehicle surfaces
causing blotchy, ring-shaped
discolourations, and small, irregular
dark spots etched into the paint
surface. See Finish Care
previously in this section.

Interior Care

To prevent dirt particle abrasions,
regularly clean the vehicle's interior.
Immediately remove any soiling.
Newspapers or dark garments can
transfer colour to the vehicle's
interior.
Use a soft bristle brush to remove
dust from knobs and crevices on the
instrument cluster. Using a mild
soap solution, immediately remove
hand lotions, sunscreen, and insect
repellent from all interior surfaces or
permanent damage may result.
Use cleaners specifically designed
for the surfaces being cleaned to
prevent permanent damage. Apply
all cleaners directly to the cleaning
cloth. Do not spray cleaners on any
switches or controls. Remove
cleaners quickly.
Before using cleaners, read and
follow all safety instructions on the
label. While cleaning the interior,
open the doors and windows to get
proper ventilation.
To prevent damage, do not clean
the interior using the following
cleaners or techniques:
Never use a razor or any other
sharp object to remove soil from
any interior surface.
Never use a brush with stiff
bristles.
Never rub any surface
aggressively or with too much
pressure.
