Cleaning the Outside of the
Windshield and Wiper Blades
If your 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 windshield with
GM
Windshield Cleaner Bon-Ami Powder@
(GM Part No. 1050011). 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
Geo
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 (non-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 car washes may cause
water to enter your vehicle.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of
your Geo 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 Geo has a "basecoat/clearcoat"
paint finish. The clearcoat gives more
depth and gloss to the colored basecoat.
