MILK STAINS:
Follow the same procedure as for nausea stains.
WATER SPOTS:
Sponge the entire panel with a cloth dampened with cold
water. Then sponge with cleaning fluid.
CHEWING GUM:
Moisten the gum with cleaning fluid. Remove with a dull
knife and then finish with a cloth dampened with cleaning
fluid.
CLEANING LEATHER:
Stickiness and loss of luster on leather upholstery is due
largely to the use of polishes or preparations which injure
the surface finish. To maintain a bright and clean finish
on leather upholstery is comparatively simple when cor-
rectly handled. We suggest the following:
Apply a damp (not wet) cloth with castile soap or a good
grade of saddle soap and rub briskly. Next apply a moist
cloth without soap and go over surface thoroughly. Finish
by rubbing dry with a clean cloth. The gloss finish of the
leather may disappear during the first application. How-
ever, it will be restored by the friction produced in polish-
ing with the dry cloth.
Under no circumstances use furniture polishes, oils, or
varnishes on leather upholstery.
CLEANING RUG MATERIALS:
For general cleaning, use a whisk broom or vacuum
cleaner. When the rug is new, it will be noted that a small
quantity of the nap is loose and comes out. This is not a
fault in the rug but is merely the loose clippings left in the
pile during the manufacture. Usually after the first clean-
ings this condition disappears.
REMOVING SPOTS FROM RUG:
Use Ivory soap suds with a sponge, wiping off the suds with
a second dampened sponge as the cleaning progresses.
Do not use water excessively. When dry, brush with a
whisk broom.
NOTE: RUG MATERIAL IS SET INTO A RUBBER
BASE, AND THE USE OF ANY FABRIC CLEANER
OR GASOLINE SERVES AS A SOLVENT WHICH
WILL CAUSE THE NAP TO BE LOOSENED AND
COME OUT.
PAINT - CARE OF FINISH
POLISHING:
While this type of finish will retain a high gloss for a long
period, it will be necessary at definite intervals, depending
entirely on climate conditions, to give the finish a more
thorough cleaning than is obtained by merely washing.
When the surface film, which will naturally accumulate,
cannot be removed by washing, clean the surface thor-
oughly with Hudson Liquid Glaze Cleaner, rubbing suffi-
ciently to clean the surface thoroughly. Follow with a
brisk back and forth rubbing with a soft cloth. Follow the
cleaning operation with a protective coat of Hudson Liquid
Glaze Sealer.
RUST:
For the removal of rust, when it occurs, use Hudson Rust
remover, following closely the directions on the contain-
er. After rust has been removed from painted surfaces,
refinish according to standard practice. Consult a Hudson
dealer when paint is needed.
ROAD TAR OR OIL:
A good standard brand of tar remover can safely be used
to remove tar and oil without injury to the finish. Howev-
er, if tar has hardened, it should be softened first with light
grease or gasoline. If gasoline is used, be sure it does not
contain coloring matter or Ethyl fluid. After removing the
tar, it is advisable to polish the surface immediately.
SALT AIR:
Cars that are operated near the seashore should have extra atten-
tion to the painted and chromium parts. Weekly washing is
strongly recommended and a thorough cleaning and waxing at
three month intervals will greatly assist in preserving the finish.
