Maintenance Instructions-Abrasives and strong cleaning agents
are harmful to the enamel finish; therefore, conventional methods of
bright metal cleaning and polishing MUST BE A
VOIDED.
The
destructive forces of salt, calcium
chloride,
salt air and corrosive
atmospheres can be minimized if all bright metal parts are washed
frequently. Conventional car washing procedures are satisfactory
where mild soap or detergents are employed as cleaning
agents.
NOTE: Insects can easily be removed by saturating area with a mild solu-
tion of about two tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
Repairs to scratches, abrasions or other damage that occur on parts
having the baked-on clear enamel finish must be performed within a
reasonably short time to prevent further deterioration to the
finish.
It is our recommendation that repairs be made only by those who are
familiar with proper repair procedures and who use approved re-
finishing
materials.
Your authorized Pontiac dealer has complete instructions regarding
this procedure and is well qualified to handle any repairs that may be
necessary.
Additional protection for the bright metal parts not covered with the
.....
baked-on clear enamel may be obtained by applying a protective
coating of Air-Dry Clear Enamel or a similar preparation, available
at your Pontiac dealer. Periodic application of this material provides
excellent protection.
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: (\) Type of fabric or trim mate-
ria\.
(2)
Nature and age of the stain.
(3)
Effect of stain-removing agents
on the
color,
structure, and general appearance of the fabric.
For 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.
Soap and water may be used in cleaning pile fabrics. A neutral, non-
alkaline 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 with
