WASHING AND POLISHING-One of
the
best ways to preserve
the original beauty of your
Pontiac's
finish
and
to protect the
value
of your
investment, is to keep it
as
clean
as possible.
Frequent
wash-
ing
is helpful, especially if
you
live near the
seashore
where
salt air
may come in
contact
with the
finish.
Tree
sap,
road tar, excretion
from insects, and
smoke
from
factory
chimneys,
also
contain harmful
chemicals and
other
foreign matter that may
permanently
damage
the finish
of your
car.
(Insects
can easily be removed by
saturating
the area
with
a mild
solution of about
two tablespoons of baking
soda
to a quart
of water.)
Frequent washing is
very
important in
winter-time if
you
drive where
salt
or calcium
chloride is
used
on
the streets.
ALWAYS
USE
COLD WATER IN WASHING A CAR, NEVER WASH IT IN
THE DIRECT RAYS OF THE HOT SUN, AND ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE
SHEET METAL SURFACES ARE COOLED OFF.
Pontiac bodies are

carefully and
scientifi-
cally finished, so as to assure the beautiful

e
of the car and
protect Its
steel.
Extremely
long exposure
to weather
causes the finish to break down. Polishing
your car removes spent pigment
and
re-
stores
original luster.
