Cleaning the Outsideof Your Oldsmobile The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depthof 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 direct the rays of the sun. Don't use strong soaps or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or vehicle washing (non-detergent) soaps. Don't use cleaning agents that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed promptly and not allowed todry 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 vehicle washesmay cause water to enter your vehicle. Finish Care Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Oldsmobile may be necessary to remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM approved cleaning products from your dealer. (Seethe Index under Appearance Care.) Your Oldsmobile has a "basecoatl clearcoat" paint finish.
