Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts
Bright metal parts should be cleaned regularly to keep
their luster. Washing with water is all that is usually
needed. However, chrome polish may be used on
chrome or stainless steel trim, if necessary.
Use special care with aluminum trim. To avoid damaging
protective trim, never use auto or chrome polish, steam or
caustic soap to clean aluminum. A coating of wax, rubbed
to high polish, is recommended for all bright metal parts.
ZR1 Carbon Fiber Panels
Carbon fiber panels can be washed and waxed like any
other panels.
Use a clear or black pigmented wax on the inner hood
carbon fiber panel.
ZR1 Hood Window
The hood window on the ZR1 can be cleaned in the
same manner as the headlamp lenses. See Cleaning
Exterior Lamps/Lenses on page 5-96 for more
information.
Windshield and Wiper Blades
Clean the outside of the windshield with glass cleaner.
Clean the rubber blades using a lint free cloth or paper
towel soaked with windshield washer fluid or a mild
detergent. Wash the windshield thoroughly when
cleaning the blades. Bugs, road grime, sap, and a
buildup of vehicle wash/wax treatments may cause
wiper streaking. Replace the wiper blades if they are
worn or damaged.
Wipers can be damaged by:
•
Extreme dusty conditions
•
Sand and salt
•
Heat and sun
•
Snow and ice, without proper removal
