10-90 Vehicle Care
Protecting Exterior Bright Metal
Parts
Regularly clean bright metal parts
with water or chrome polish on
chrome or stainless steel trim,
if necessary.
For aluminum, never use auto or
chrome polish, steam, or caustic
soap to clean. A coating of wax,
rubbed to high polish, is
recommended for all bright metal
parts.
Hood Air Extractor
It is not recommended that the air
extractor on the ZL1 be waxed, as it
will change the gloss level of the
surface. In addition, care must be
used when waxing around the air
extractor. If a small amount of wax
is applied to the extractor it can
create an irregular appearance in
the surface of the panel. If wax,
debris, or other materials create
stains on the air extractor, see your
dealer for the recommended
cleaner.
The air extractor has vent screens
in the openings. Keep leaves or
other debris out of the vent screens.
Notice: Pushing on the vent
screens could damage them. Do
not push on the screens when
clearing.
There is a water deflector on the
underside of the air extractor. Do
not remove it.
Convertible Top care
Frequently hand wash convertible
tops with mild car wash soap. Never
use a stiff brush, steam, bleach,
or aggressive cleaners.
If necessary, a soft brush can be
used to remove dirt. When finished
cleaning, thoroughly rinse the fabric.
Avoid automatic car washes with
overhead brushes or very high
pressure sprays as they can cause
damage and leaking.
Only lower the top when it is
completely dry and avoid leaving
the top lowered for extended
periods of time to prevent excessive
interior weathering.
Avoid leaving large amounts of
snow on the top for extended
periods of time as damage may also
occur.
Cleaning Exterior Lamps/
Lenses and Emblems
Use only lukewarm or cold water, a
soft cloth, and a car washing soap
to clean exterior lamps, lenses and
