Removing Rust from Chromium Parts-If the above precautions
have not been taken and rust spots appear on chromium plated
surfaces, steps can be taken to improve the
appea
rance by cleaning
the
spots
with Pontiac Rust R emover
as directed.
After removing
the rust
spots
in
this
manner a coating of
wax
or CLEAR ENAMEL
should be applied.
HOUSEKEEPING INSIDE YOUR CAR
Dust and dirt particles that accumulate on the upholstery of your
car should be removed every few weeks-and oftener, if your car is
given constant, hard
use.
Before attempting to remove spots and stains from upholstery fabric,
determine as accurately as possible
:
(1) Type of fabric or trim mate-
rial.
(2)
Nature and age of the stain.
(3)
Effect of stain-removing
agents on the
color,
structure, and general appearance of the fabric.
For best
results,
stains should be removed from upholstery as soon as
possible after they have been made. If they are allowed to stand for
some time, they very often become set, and removal becomes more
dimcult-frequently
impossible.
TRIM DESCRIPTION AND CLEANING METHODS
Fabrics-Soap and water may be used in cleaning
fabrics.
A neutral,
nonalkaline soap should be used with lukewarm
water.
The suds
should be frothy, not watery. Suds only should be applied in moderate
quantities with a damp cloth,
sponge,
or soft brush and rubbed
gently.
Soap suds should be removed with a clean, damp cloth or
sponge. Then the surface should be wiped several times with a dry
cloth. While still damp it should
be
brushed lightly with a whisk broom
or medium stiff
brush.
Permit air to circulate
freely
over the wet
upholstery.
In some cases of especially stubborn stains it may be necessary to use
either GM
Upholstery
Cleaner or GM Upholstery Spotter available
from your Pontiac dealer. Use as the label
directs.
NOTE: The followina safety precautions should be observed in c1eanina
fabrics:
1.
Do not use as a c1eanina solvent any aasoline which is colored or which
contains tetraethyl lead.
2. Do not use as a c1eanina solvent, acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel
reducers, nail polish remover, etc.
