The interior glass surface should
be cleaned
on a periodic basis for

EXTERIOR APPEARANCE
Your car is finished with General
Motors
"Magic-Mirror" acrylic lac
quer. This
is a finish of maximum
beauty which,
in depth of color,
gloss retention
and durability is
superior to conventional lacquer
finishes.
Washing Your Car
The best way to preserve the
finish
and maintain original beauty
of appearance
is to keep it clean. Wash
the
car in lukewarm or cold • water. Never use strong soap or
chemical detergents. Cleaning
agents should be quickly flushed
from the surfaces.
Polishing and Waxing
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 ava,ilable
which have proven of real value in
maintaining a good
paint finish.
When using a
tar and road oil
remover, be certain
it is safe for
use
on acrylic painted surfaces.

cleaned regularly to maintain
luster. Washing with water is all
that
is usually required. However,

Use special care with ALU
MINUM trim. Never use auto
or chrome polish, stearn
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

harm aluminum trim. A stiff brush
may
be used with the cleaner to
remove road grime
and dirt from
white sidewall tires.

quently with neutral soap suds,
