Vehicle Care
Polishing and Waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Polishing is necessary only if the
paint has become dull or if solid
deposits have become attached
to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms
a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts must not be
treated with wax or polishing
agents.
Windows and Windscreen Wiper
Blades
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois
leather together with window
cleaner and insect remover.
.
Never use abrasive cleaners to
clean glass.
.
Refer to a Holden Dealer for
windscreen washer additive.
.
Old wiper blades can cause
windscreen scratching.
Regularly inspect and
replace them.
Caution
Do not operate the wiper blades
by hand as this damages the
wiper drive mechanism.
When cleaning the rear window,
make sure the heating element
inside is not damaged.
Clean smearing wiper blades with a
soft cloth and window cleaner.
Wheels and Tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet
cleaners.
.
Remove oil and grease with
soap and water or detergent.
.
Do not use petrol to clean tyres.
.
Use a good quality tyre and
bumper shine if required.
.
A good quality wheel cleaner
can be used for cleaning alloy
wheels.
.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Paintwork Damage
Rectify minor paintwork damage
with a touch-up pen before rust
forms.
Have more extensive damage or
rust areas repaired by your Holden
Dealer.
Caution
Do not spill coolant on the
vehicle's exterior surfaces as it
can damage the paintwork. If you
do, wash it off immediately.
Underbody
Substances can cause rust under
the vehicle.
.
Hose the underbody with clean
water whenever the vehicle is
washed.
.
Where the vehicle is exposed to
heavy concentrations of
corrosive materials, inspect and
wash the complete underbody at
least once each year, preferably
after winter exposure.
