Waxing And Polishing - Oldsmobile 1970 Ninety-Eight Owner's Manual

NOTE: Some chemical cleaners used for
removing road oil and tars from painted
surfnces nrc detrimental to acrylic finishes.
When purcJ1Rsing a cleaner, make sure
that the instructions on the container spe-
cifically st.te that the contents can be
used on an acrylio finish.
Waxing and Polishing
Even though the acrylic paint on your car
is durable, under certain conditions it may
be advisable to wax or polish your car to
provide added protection. Calciwn chlo-
ride and other salts, road oil and tar. tree
sap, chemicals from factory chimneys and
other foreign matter may damage any
known automobile finish
if
allowed to re-
main in contact with the paint film .
Prompt washing may not thoroughly re-
move these deposits. This is particularly
true in geographical areas where these
exposure conditions are severe. Properly
appJied polishes and waxes of known qual-
ity
will
provide the best protection. Most
Oldsmobile Dealers offer polishes or waxes
which can
be
of real value in maintaining
a good paint finish.
