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 an all-cotton towel
to
avoid
surface scratches and water spotting.
High pressure car washes may cause water to enter
your vehicle.
Cleaning Exterior LampsLLenses
Use lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a liquid
hand, dish or car washing (mild detergent) soap to clean
exterior lamps and lenses. Follow instructions under
“Washing Your Vehicle.”
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Buick
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 Buick 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 basecoatklearcoat
paint finish.
