Aluminum
wheels
(IfSo
Equipped)
Your aluminum wheels have a
protective coating similar to the painted
surface of your vehicle. Don't use
strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish,
abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning
brushes on them because you could
damage this coating. After rinsing
thoroughly, a wax may be applied.
NOTICE:
If you have aluminum wheels, don't
use an automatic vehicle wash that
has hard silicon carbide cleaning
brushes. These brushes can take off
the protective coating.
Tires
Your Chevrolet 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.
I
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
G.
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.
I
Foreign Material
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice
melting agents, road oil and tar, tree
sap, bird droppings, chemicals from
industrial chimneys, and other foreign
matter can damage your vehicle's finish
if
they remain
on
painted surfaces. Use
cleaners that are marked safe for painted
surfaces to remove foreign matter.
