BODY
Washing
The car should be washed often since
such things as dirt, dust, dead insects. tar
spots.
etc. usually adhere firmly to the
body and
may damage the paintwork.
Washing also helps to counteract rusting.

special care should be
taken to ensure that all road salt residue
is was hed off as soon as possible, other-
wise corrosion can occur.
When washing
the
car, make su re that it is
not exposed to direct sunlight since
this
can cause drying patches. Begin by soften-
ing
up the dirt on the underside of
the
body with a jet of
water
and
use
if neces-
sary a soft brush
.
Then
rinse
down the
whole body
with
a light jet until
the
dirt
has loosened up.
After
this,
wash
off the
dirt with asponge using
plenty
of
water.
Start on
the roof
of
the
vehicle and
work
down the
body.
Use
preferably lukewarm
but not hot
waer.
A detergent can
be
used
to
facilitate
washing. Special detergents are now avail-
able on
the
market -
even dish-washing
fluids can be used.

(10 liters) of water.
Asphalt
spots and
tar
pittings can easily be
removed

or equivalent, but
this
should be
done after
the washing.
When a detergent is
used, the

should
be weil rinsed down
with
clean
water
after-
wards. Begin
with the
roof of
