The overall height, width, and underbody clearances of
the HUMMER H2 are similar to current General Motors’
full-size light duty trucks. This means a HUMMER H2
should fit in a standard car wash. But, if your vehicle has
added accessories like roof-mounted lamps, roof basket,
etc., it might not fit properly in a standard car wash.

Notice: Certain add-on accessories can change the
dimensions of your vehicle. If you’ve added items
to the outside of your vehicle, it might not fit
properly in a standard car wash. Your vehicle and
the car wash could be damaged. To help prevent
damage, know how accessories have changed the
dimensions of your vehicle and check with the
car wash manager before entering a car wash.

Notice: If you drive your vehicle through an
automatic car wash that does not have enough
clearance for any roof-mounted accessories (such as
off-road lamps or a roof basket) on your vehicle, you
can damage your vehicle. To avoid damaging your
vehicle in a car wash, remove any roof-mounted
accessories if you can, and do not use an automatic
car wash while roof-mounted accessories are on
your vehicle. See Cleaning the Outside of Your
Vehicle
on page 5-95 for more information.

Also, see Luggage Carrier on page 2-46 and “Off-Road
Lamps” under Exterior Lamps on page 3-13.

Cleaning Exterior Lamps/Lenses

Use only lukewarm or cold water, a soft cloth and a car
washing soap to clean exterior lamps and lenses.
Follow instructions under “Washing Your Vehicle.”

Finish Care

Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your vehicle by
hand may be necessary to remove residue from the
paint finish. You can get GM-approved cleaning products
from your dealer. See Vehicle Care/Appearance
Materials
on page 5-100.

If your vehicle has a “basecoat/clearcoat” paint finish. The
clearcoat gives more depth and gloss to the colored
basecoat. Always use waxes and polishes that are
non-abrasive and made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint
finish.

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 your vehicle.
