and corrosive atmosphere can be alleviated if bright metal parts are

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.

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
difficult-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.
