CLEANING HINTS
EXTERIOR APPEARANCE
WASHING YOUR CORVAIR
The best way to preserve
the
original beauty of the
finish of your Corvair is to keep it clean. Calcium
chloride and other salts, road tar, excretion from insects,
tree sap, chemicals from factory chimneys and other
foreign matter may permanently damage both paint and
bright metal parts. Regular, frequent washings and a
thorough cleaning after exposure to any of the above is
recommended. Wash the car in either warm or cold
(never hot) water; never in the direct rays of the sun;
and always wait until the sheet metal surfaces have
cooled before beginning. Never wipe off dust and dirt
when surfaces are dry because this may scratch the
finish.
POLISHING YOUR CORVAIR
Your Corvair is finished with Magic Mirror Acrylic
Lacquer. A thorough washing is generally all that is
required to maintain a "new car" appearance. How-
ever, if the car is to be polished ma ke certain that the
label of the cleaner or polish used states that the product
is suitable for use on acrylic lacquer finishes. Any of the
14
approved cleaners or polishes listed on Page 27 of this
book may be used
.
Any tar or road oil remover used
should indicate on the label that it is harmless to Acrylic
finishes. G. M. Tar and Road Oil Remover has been
especially compounded for this purpose.
PROTECTION OF EXTERIOR BRIGHT METAL
PARTS
All bright metal parts of the car-should be regularly
cleaned and protected against the same substances
harmful to the painted surfaces
.
Normally, washing with
water is all that is required
.
However, G. M. Chrome
Polish may be used on CHROME or STAINLESS STEEL
trim if necessary. Use special care with ALUMINUM trim.
Never use auto or chrome polish, steam or any caustic
soap to clean aluminum. Wash only with lukewarm water,
and if necessary, a mild soap. Rinse well and dry
thoroughly.
