cleaners that are marked safe for
painted surfaces to remove foreign
matter.
Occasional hand waxing or mild
polishing should be done to remove
residue from the paint finish. See
your dealer for approved cleaning
products.
Do not apply waxes or polishes to
uncoated plastic, vinyl, flat paint,
or matte or textured finishes as
damage can occur.
Caution
Machine compounding or
aggressive polishing on a
basecoat/clearcoat paint finish
may damage it. Use only
non-abrasive waxes and polishes
that are made for a basecoat/
clearcoat paint finish on the
vehicle.
To keep the paint finish looking new,
keep the vehicle garaged or
covered whenever possible.
ZL1 1LE Spoiler
It is not recommended that the
ZL1 1LE spoiler be waxed, as it will
change the gloss level of the
surface. In addition, care must be
used when waxing around the
spoiler. If a small amount of wax is
applied to the spoiler it can create
an irregular appearance to the
surface of the panel. If wax, debris,
or other materials create stains on
the spoiler, see your dealer for the
recommended cleaner.
Fuel Spills
Wipe off immediately to avoid
degrading the vinyl and adhesive.
Then wash, rinse, and dry.
