Your Car
Although acrylic paint on your
car
is durable, you may wish to wax
or polish for added protection.
Your Chevrolet Dealer offers many
polishes and waxes now available
which have proven of real value in
maintaining a good paint finish.
When using a tar and road oil re
mover, be certain it
is safe for use
on acrylic painted surfaces.
Protection of Exterior
Bright Metal Parts
Bright metal parts should be
cleaned regularly to maintain lus
ter. Washing with water
is all that
is usually required. However, G.M.
Chrome Polish may be used on
CHROME or STAINLESS STEEL
trim if necessary.
Use special care with ALU-
MINUM trim. Never use auto or
.chrome polish, steam or any caustic
soap to clean aluminum.
A coating of wax, rubbed to a
high polish,
is recommended for all
bright metal parts.
Cleaning White Sidewall
Tires
Use a tire cleaner which will not
harm aluminum trim. A stiff brush
may be used with the cleaner to
remove road grime and dirt from
white sidewall tires.
Cleaning the Optional
Vinyl Top
The top should be washed fre
quently with neutral soap suds,
lukewarm water and a brush with
soft bristles. Rinse top with
suffi
cient quantities of clear water to re
move all traces of soap.

If the top requires additional
clea~ing after using soap and water,
a
mtld foaming cleanser can be
used. Rinse the whole top with
water; then apply a mild foaming
~pe cleanser on an area of approx
Imately two square feet.
Scrub area
with a small soft bristle hand brush
adding water
as necessary until th~
cleanser foams to a soapy consis
tency. Remove the first accumu
lated soilage with a cloth or sponge
before it can be ground into the top
material. Apply additional cleanser
~o the area and scrub until the top
IS clean. Care must be exercised to
keep the cleanser from running onto
body finish
as it may cause streaks
if allowed to run down and dry.
After the entire top has been
cleaned, rinse generously with clear
water to remove all traces of
cleanser. Do not use volatile cleaner
or household bleaching agents on
the top material.
