The interior glass surface should
be cleaned
on a periodic basis for
continued good visibility. A com­
mercial household glass cleaning
agent containing ammonia will re­
move normal tobacco smoke
and
dust films sometimes caused by in­
gredients used in vinyls, plastics
or
other interior trim materials.
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.
Protection of Exterior
Bright
Metal Parts
Bright metal parts should be
cleaned regularly to maintain
luster. Washing with water is all
that
is usually required. However,
G.M. Chrome Polish may be used
4-5
on CHROME or STAINLESS
STEEL trim . if necessary.
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
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
remove all traces of soap.
