Greasy or Oily Stains: Like grease, oil, butter, margarine, shoe polish,
coffee
with cream, chewing gum, cosmetic creams, vegetable oils, wax
crayon, tar and asphalt.
Carefully scrape off excess stain.
Then follow the solvent-type instructions above.
0 Shoe polish, wax crayon, tar and asphalt will stain if left on a vehicle
seat fabric. They should be removed

milk, soft drinks, wine, vomit, urine and blood.
0 Carefully scrape off excess stain, then sponge the soiled area with cool
water.

Just use warm water and a clean cloth.
Rub with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt. You may have to do it
more than once.
Things like tar, asphalt and shoe polish will stain if you don’t get them
off quickly. Use a clean cloth and solvent-type vinyl/leather cleaner.
CLEANING THE TOP OF THE
INSTRUMENT PmEL
Use only mild soap and water to clean the top surfaces of the instrument
panel. Sprays containing silicones
or waxes may cause annoying
reflections in the windshield and even make it difficult to see through the
windshield under certain conditions.
Care of Wood Panels
Use a clean cloth moistened in warm soapy water (use mild dish
washing soap).
Dry the wood immediately with a clean cloth.
Wood surfaces can be polished using ordinary household furniture
polishes. Apply the
polish to a clean cloth, then rub the cloth on the
wood panel.
CARE OF SAFETYBELTS
Keep belts clean and dry.
A CAUTION:
Do not bleach or dye safety belts. If you do, it may severely
weaken them.
In a crash they might not be able to provide
adequate protection. Clean safety belts only with mild soap and
lukewarm water.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GLASS
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM Part No.
1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco
smoke and dust films.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners
on glass, because they may cause scratches.
Avoid placing decals
on the inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped
off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary
license should not be attached across the defogger grid.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
WINDSHIELD 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 Powders (GM Part No. 1050011). 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CLEMING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR
CXDILUC
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
(non-detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents 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.
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.)
Your Cadillac has a “basecoat/clearcoat” paint finish. The clearcoat gives
more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat.
321

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine ALUMINUM WHEELS
Don’t use chrome polish on your aluminum wheels. Use wax after you
clean them.
Also, don’t use abrasive cleaners or cleaning brushes on them
-- you could damage the protective coating.
WEATHERSTMPS
c
These are places where glass or metal meets rubber. Silicone grease there
will make them last longer, seal better, and not squeak. Apply silicone
grease
with a clean cloth at least every six months.
SHEET METAL DAlMAGE
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.
FOREIGNIMATERUL,
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 for these
stains.
322

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FINISH DMGE
Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish should be
repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly and may develop
into
a major repair expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up materials
available from your dealer or other service outlets. Larger areas
of finish
damage can be corrected in your dealer’s body and paint shop.
UNDERBODY2MAINTENANCE
Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control can collect on
the underbody. If these are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur
on the underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and
exhaust system even though they have corrosion protection.
At least
every spring, flush these materials from the underbody with plain
water. Clean any areas where mud and other debris can collect. Dirt
packed
in closed areas of the frame should be loosened before being
flushed. Your dealer or an underbody vehicle washing system can do this
for you.
CHEMICAL PMNT SPOTTING
Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a chemical fallout.
Airborne pollutants can fall upon and attack painted surfaces on your
vehicle. This damage can take
two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped
discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched into the paint
surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes this, Cadillac will repair, at no
charge
to the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within
12 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km) of purchase,
whichever comes first.
