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.
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.)
Cleaning the Outside
of
Your Buick
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 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.
