Cleaning  Glass  Surfaces 
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 on 
interior glass. 
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, 
Backglass  and  Wiper  Blades 
If the windshield is not  clear  after using the 
windshield washer,  or if the  wiper blade chatters 
when  running,  wax, sap or other  material  may be 
on 
the blade  or  windshield. 
Clean the  outside 
of the windshield with GM 
Windshield Cleaner, Bon Ami@ Powder (non-scratching 
glass cleaning powder), 
GM Part No. 105001 1. The 
windshield 
is clean  if beads  do not form when you 
rinse it with  water.  Grime from the windshield will stick 
to  the wiper 
blades and affect their performance. Clean the  blade 
by  wiping vigorously with 
a cloth soaked  in 
full-strength  windshield washer  solvent. Then 
rinse  the blade with  water. 
Check the wiper blades and clean them  as necessary; 
replace blades that look worn. 
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  Vehicle 
The paint  finish  on your  vehicle provides beauty,  depth 
of  color, gloss retention and durability.
