Periodically clean interior glass with a commercial

Care of the exterior
Washing-The best way to preserve the finish is
to keep it clean. Frequent washings are required
to maintain its original beauty. Wash the car with
either warm or cold (never hot) water, not in the
direct rays of the sun, and not while the sheet
metal surfaces are hot. Never wipe dirt from dry
painted surfaces as this may scratch the finish.
The use of strong soaps and chemical detergents
should be avoided. All cleaning agents should be
promptly flushed from the surface and not
allowed to dry or they may streak the finish.
Polishing and Waxing-Even though the acrylic
paint on your car is more durable than con-
ventional finishes, under certain conditions you
may wish to wax or polish your car to provide
maximum protection.
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice-melting
agents, road oil and tar, tree sap, chemicals from
factory chimneys and other foreign matter may
damage any automobile finish if allowed to
remain in contact with paint.
Prompt washing may not thoroughly remove
these deposits and, particularly in geographical
areas where these exposure conditions are severe,
properly applied high quality polishes and waxes
will provide the best protection. Authorized
Cadillac Dealers offer GM Magic Mirror, Blue
Coral and GM Body Polish and Cleaner, which
have proven their value in maintaining a fine
finish.
NOTE: Some chemical cleaners used for re-
moving road oil and tars from painted sur-
faces have been found to be detrimental to
acrylic finishes. When purchasing a cleaner,
make sure the instructions specifically state
that the contents can be safely used on an
acrylic finish. GM Tar and Road Oil
Remover is recommended for this purpose.
Glass-Dirt and insects can be removed from glass
with clear water. Never wipe dirty glass with dry
paper or cloth. Periodic inspection and replace-
ment of wiper blades will reduce the possibility of
glass becoming scratched and assure clear vision
under adverse driving conditions.
REMINDER: Never "scrape" the inside sur·
face of a Oe·Fogger equipped rear window-
the de·fogging element could be damaged.
White Sidewall Tires-GM White Sidewall Tire
Cleaner is recommended. Foaming type house·
hold cleansers may also be used. 00 NOT use
gasoline, kerosene, or any oil product that will
discolor the tire sidewalls or damage the rubber.
Chrome-Many parts of your Cadillac, such as
the bumpers and body hardware, are chromium
plated. Chrome plating is susceptible to the
actions of solutions being used on streets and
highways to melt ice. Corrosive damage may also
be caused by salt air near coastlines, industrial
smoke and other
con~:tions
found in urban
