Vehicle Care

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.
