Carbon tetrachloride is non-inflammable_ Most
other
types of
cleaning solvents are inflammable;
every
precaution and care
must be
exercised in
handling these inflammable
cleaners.

Do
not
permit
cleaning solvents
to
come in
contact with the skin
on
the upper
a
rms or the body. Such contacts
sometimes
produce
local irritation, which is unpleasant, if
not
serious.

Do
not
breathe the
fumes of carbon
tetrachloride or
other clean-
ing solvents since
they
are usually toxic in large quantities. Every
precaution
should
be taken to insure that all
car
windows and
garage doors
are
open when such cleaners
are
being
used.

Keep
oxalic
acid
out of reach of

At the
present
time there
are on
the
market
a
great number of
inexpensive, slow-drying cleaners
of
the
clear
type.
These are not
recommended. Care
should
be taken, in the
selection of a cleaner
for the upholstery
in
your
car,
to
obtain
a product
of
proved
reputa-
tion and quality.

Don't use too
much
cleaning fluid; some interior trim assemblies
are podded with rubber, and volatile
cleaners
are
generally
solvents
for
rubber. The application
of too
much
cleaner may destroy
these
rubber pads or cause
the rubber itself to
penetrate
the
upholstery
fabric
and
soil
it.
DESCRIPTION AND CLEANING METHODS
for Genuine Leathers
Some
closed car
models
and all Catalina convertible, and
de
luxe
station wagon styles are trimmed
in
genuine leather.
Genuine leathers have
a natural
tendency
to
wrinkle.
Such
wrinkles or
creases
occurring in service do not detract
from the
wearing qualities
of
the leather, but
serve
to keep active the oils
incorporated
in the
leather, for
softness and pliability,
when
it
was
tanned.
A
cushion
in this
condition is
simply
described as having
"comfort wrinkles,"
The
best cuts of
leather have
certain scars,
horn marks,
and briar
scratches.
These
likewise do not detract from
quality
or durability
but
·
indicate that
the
hide carrying these "blemishes" is of
the
top cut
grade
with
entirely
natural
markings.
Care of genuine
leather
is
a relatively
simple
but important
matter. If dirt
accumulates
on
the surface, this
develops
into
a hard
grit which under pressure will cut the finish
and
cause the leather
