CLEANING YOUR CHEVROLET
Exterior
Appearance
Your Chevrolet is finished with Gen-
eral Motors "Magic-Mirror" acrylic
lacquer. This is a finish of maximum
beauty, which, in depth of color, gloss
retention and durability is superior to
conventional lacquer finishes.
Washing Your Chevrolet
The best way to preserve the finish
and maintain original beauty of op-
pearance is to keep it clean. Wash the
car in lukewarm or cold water. Never
use strong soap or chemical deter-
gents. Cleaning agents should be
quickly flushed from the surfaces.
Polishing and Waxing Your
Chevrolet
Although acrylic paint on your car
is durable, you may wish to wax or
polish for added protection. Your
Chevrolet Dealer offers many polishes
and waxes now available which have
proven of real value in maintaining a
good paint finish. When using a tar and
road oil remover, be certain it is safe
for use on acrylic painted surfaces.
Protection of Exterior
Bright Metal Parts
Bright metal parts should be cleaned
regularly to maintain luster. Washing
with water is all that is usually re-
45
quired. However, G.M. Chrome Polish
may be used on CHROME or STAIN-
LESS STEEL trim if necessary. Use
special care with ALUMINUM trim.
Never use auto or chrome polish,
steam or any caustic soap to clean
aluminum.
A coating of wax, rubbed to
a
high
polish, is recommended for all bright
metal parts.
