Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will rnake them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every
six
months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required. (See "Recomnlended
Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index.)
Cleaning the Outside of Your
Chevrolet
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 are petroleum based, or
that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents
should be flushed promptly and
not
allowed
t o
dry on
the surface, or they could stain. Dry the finish with a
soft, clean chamois or a 100% cottorl 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 Chevrolet
by
hand may be necessary to remove residue from the
paint finish. You can get GM approved cleaning
products from your dealer. (See "Appearance Care and
Materials?' in the Index.)
Your Chevrolet has a "basecoatklearcoat" paint finish.
The clearcoat gives more depth and gloss to the colored
basecoat. Always use waxes and polishes that are
non-abrasive and made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint
finish.
NOTICE:
Machine compounding
or
aggressive polishing on
a basecoatklearcoat paint finish may dull the
finish or leave swirl marks.
