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

appearance
of the car and
protect its
steel.
Extremely
lona exposure
to weather
causes the finish to break down. PoIishlng
your car removes spent pigment and re-
stores original luster.
