10-98 Vehicle Care
Do not apply waxes or polishes to
uncoated plastic, vinyl, rubber,
decals, simulated wood, or flat paint
as damage can occur.
Notice: 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.
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.
