Cleaning Glass Surfaces

Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner or a
liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal
tobacco smoke and dust films on interior glass. See
“Appearance Care and Materials” in the Index.

NOTICE:

Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they
may cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the
inside rear window, since they may have to be
scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on
the inside of the rear window, an electric
defogger element may be damaged. Any
temporary license should not be attached across
the defogger grid.

Cleaning the Outside of the
Windshield and Wiper Blades

If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield
washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running,
wax, sap or other material may be on the blade
or windshield.

Clean the outside of the windshield with a full

strength

glass cleaning liquid. The windshield is clean if beads
do not form when you rinse it with water.

Grime from the windshield will stick to the wiper blades
and affect their performance. Clean the blade by wiping
vigorously with a cloth soaked in full

strength

windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade
with water.

Check the wiper blades and clean them as necessary;
replace blades that look worn.
