Skylark V6-3100 3.1L VIN M SFI (1996)
The GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator product is an effective odor elimination product when used properly. It must come into direct contact with the
odor source. It should be used in conjunction with diagnostic procedures to first eliminate the root cause of the odor. Some procedures for use after odor
root cause correction are:
STEP TWO:
^
Use the trigger spray head.
^
Put a drop of dish soap the size of a quarter in the bottom of a bottle.
^
Add 8 oz. of GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator (1 cup) to the dish soap and top off the bottle with tap water.
^
This formula should be used on hard surfaces (dash, interior plastic molding, and floor pan)
STEP THREE:
The third step to neutralizing the vehicle is a light to medium treatment of all carpeting and upholstered seats with the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator
formula and a wide fan spray setting (at full strength) (i.e.: carpeting on the driver's side requires 4-5 triggers pulls for coverage). The headliner and trunk
should be sprayed next. Lightly brushing the formula into the carpeting and upholstery is a recommended step for deep odor problems. The dash and all
hard surfaces should be sprayed with dish soap/water mixture. Let stand for 1-2 minutes then wipe off the surface.
STEP FOUR: (vehicle ventilation system treatment)
The ventilation system is generally the last step in the treatment of the vehicle.
a.
Spray the GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator formula into all dash vents. (1-2 trigger pulls per vent).
b.
Start the vehicle and turn the vehicle fan on high cool (not A/C setting).
c.
Spray the formula (10 trigger pulls) into the outside fresh air intake vent (cowl at base of windshield)
d.
Enter the vehicle after 1 minute and wipe off the excess formula spurting out of the dash vents.
e.
Smell the air coming from the dash vents. If odors are still present, spray another 5 triggers into the cowl, wait another minute and smell the
results. Once you have obtained a fresh, clean smell coming from the vents, turn the system to the A/C re-circulation setting. Roll up the windows,
spray 3-5 pumps into the right lower IP area and let the vehicle run with the fan set on high for 5-7 minutes.
Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the
remaining steps do not need to be performed. If these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
Additional Suggestions to Increase Customer Satisfaction
Here are some additional ideas to benefit your dealership and to generate greater customer enthusiasm for this product.
^
Keep this product on-hand for both the Service Department and the Used Car lot. Add value to your used car trades; treat loaner and demo cars
during service and at final sale to eliminate smoke, pet, and other common odors offensive to customers. Make deodorizing a vehicle part of your
normal vehicle detailing service.
^
Consider including GM Vehicle Care Odor Eliminator as a give-away item with new vehicle purchases. Many dealers give away as "gifts" various
cleaning supplies at time of delivery. GM Odor Eliminator is one of a few products GM offers that has as many uses in the home as in the vehicle.
Customers may find this product can be used for a host of recreational activities associated with their new vehicle, such as deodorizing a boat they
tow, or a camper.
^
GM Odor Eliminator and many of the GM Vehicle Care products offer you the chance to increase dealership traffic as these superior quality products
cannot be purchased in stores. Many Dealerships have product displays at the parts counter. Consider additional displays in the Customer Service
Lounge, the Showroom and at the Service Desk or Cashier Window. Many customers who purchase vehicles and receive regular maintenance at your
dealership may never visit the parts counter, and subsequently are not exposed to the variety and value that these products offer.
