The glossy exterior,
luxurious
interior, and fine appearance details
of your
1953
Pontiac deserve the same care and attention that
you
give the furniture in your
home.
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 washing
is helpful, especially if
you
-five
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.)
Washing is
also
important in winter-time if you
drive a
lot
where salt or calcium chloride
is used
to melt snow
or
ice
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.
'
SPECIAL POLISH AND WAX JOBS-If
you find that the finish
has
hecome slightly
dulled
by the presence
cif
"spent pigment", you
may want to
have your
Pontiac
service
man
polish
it,to bring
back
the
original glossy finish.
This
operation consists of washing the car
thoroughly and following
up
with an application of a
mild
liquid
