with a soft clean chamois leather. Use dif-
ferent leathers for the windows and the
remainder of the car, otherwise using the
same leather can cause greasy smears on
the windows.
When washing the car, remember to clean
the draining holes in the doors and bot-
tom sills.
Note. When washing the car in a washing
bay, the ventilation controls should be
closed. In certain cases, the air intakes for
the car heater should be covered.
BODY
40 Washing
The car should be washed often since
such things as dirt, dust, dead insects, tar
spots, etc, usually adhere firmly to the
body and may damage the paintwork.
Washing also helps to counteract rusting.
During the winter, special care should be
taken to ensure that all road salt residue
i s washed off as soon as possible, other-
wise corrosion can occur.
When washing the car, make sure that it is
not exposed to direct sunlight since this
can cause drying patches. Begin by soften-
i ng up the dirt on the underside of the
body with a jet of water and use if neces-
sary a soft brush. Then rinse down the
whole body with a light jet until the dirt
has loosened up. After this, wash off the
dirt with a sponge using plenty of water.
Start on the roof of the vehicle and work
down the body. Use preferably lukewarm
but not hot water.
A detergent can be used to facilitate
washing. Special detergents are now avail-
able on the market - even dish-washing
fluids can be used. A suitable mixture is
about 5-10 cl
(1'/2-3'/2
fl. ozs.) of fluid
dish washer to 10 liters (2.6 US galls=2.2
I mp. galls) of water. Asphalt spots and tar
pitting
can easily be removed with white
spirit or equivalent, but this should be
done after the washing.
When a detergent is used, the car should
be well rinsed down with clean water after-
wards. Begin with the roof of the car and
work down the body. Then dry carefully
