Tires
Your Cadillac 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.
Finish Care
Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Cadillac 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.)

r
r
Your Cadillac has a “basecoat/clearcoat” 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.
NOTICE: I
Machine compounding or aggressive polishing on a
basecoat/clearcoat paint finish may dull the finish or leave sw\
irl marks.
ALUMINUM WHEELS
Your aluminum wheels have a protective coating similar to the painted
surface of your vehicle. Don’t use strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polis\
h,
abrasive cleaners or abrasive cleaning brushes on them because you could
1 damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, a wax may be applied.
