Cleaning The Outside Of Your Vehicle - Chevrolet SUBURBAN 1994 Manual

Glass
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427)
or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and
dust films.
Don't
use
abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary
license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
Cleaning the Outside of the Windshield,
Backglass and Wiper Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running, wax or other material
may
be
on
the
blade
or
windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami
Powder@ (GM Part No. 105001 1). The windshield is clean if beads do not
form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked on a regular basis and replaced when worn.
Cleaning the Outside of Your Vehicle
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 (mild
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.
