Fabric/Carpet - Pontiac Wave 2008 Owner's Manual

Do not clean your vehicle using the following cleaners
or techniques:
•
Never use a knife or any other sharp object to
remove a soil from any interior surface.
•
Never use a stiff brush. It can cause damage to
your vehicle's interior surfaces.
•
Never apply heavy pressure or rub aggressively
with a cleaning cloth. Use of heavy pressure
can damage your interior and does not improve the
effectiveness of soil removal.
•
Use only mild, neutral-pH soaps. Avoid laundry
detergents or dishwashing soaps with degreasers.
Using too much soap will leave a residue that
leaves streaks and attracts dirt. For liquid cleaners,
about 20 drops per gallon (3.78 L) of water is a
good guide.
•
Do not heavily saturate your upholstery while
cleaning.
•
Damage to your vehicle's interior may result from
the use of many organic solvents such as naptha,
alcohol, etc.

Fabric/Carpet

Use a vacuum cleaner often to get rid of dust and loose
dirt. Wipe vinyl, leather, plastic, and painted surfaces
with a clean, damp cloth.
GM-approved cleaning products can be obtained from
your dealer.
Here are some cleaning tips:
•
Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.
•
Clean up stains as soon as you can before they set.
•
Carefully scrape off any excess stain.
•
Use a clean cloth or sponge, and change to a clean
area often. A soft brush may be used if stains are
stubborn.
•
To avoid forming a ring on the fabric after spot
cleaning, clean the entire area immediately or it
will set.
