Cleaning the Outside
of
Your
Corvette
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.
