Don't put any labels, stickers or tape
on windows. It's hard to remove
adhesives left on the window when
such items are removed. If a sticker
or
label must be removed, remove any
adhesive left on the window while the

on a new sticker or piece of tape and
then lift it off again; keep doing this
until all the adhesive lifts off with
the sticker or tape.

If you have aluminum wheels, don't
use an automatic car wash that has
hard silicon carbide cleaning brushes.
These brushes can take off the
protective coating.
Tires
Your Geo dealer has a GM White Sidewall
Tire Cleaner. You can use a stiff brush
with the cleaner.
When applying a tire dressing, always
take care to wipe off any overspray
or splash from painted surfaces.
Petroleum-based products may damage
the paint finish.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will
make 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 "Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants" in the Index.)
Sheet Metal Damage
If your vehicle is damaged and requires
sheet metal repair or replacement,
make sure the body repair shop applies
anti-corrosion material to the parts
repaired or replaced to restore corrosion
protection.
