CAR CLEANING HINTS:
EXTERIOR
WASHING THE CAR - You can retain the lasting beauty of the high luster, hard-baked enamel finish of your new car by washing it frequently with plenty of cool water. Saturate the dirt on the finish with water before proceeding with the actual washing operations. For best results, use a clean sponge and running water, and rinse the sponge often. Dry to a high polish with a clean, damp chamois skin. Avoid washing the car in strong sunlight or when enamel surfaces are hot. Never use hot water.
POLISHING THE CAR - While frequent washing will keep the finish of your car at a high luster for a long period of time, accumulated road scum, strong sunlight and adverse weather conditions will finally tend to dull the finish. An application of non-abrasive liquid polish, such as MoPar Automobile Polish, will restore the finish to its original high luster. Auto waxes are not recommended for the finish of your New Dodge because abrasive cleaners may be used to remove the original wax coating when relaxing is necessary. Such abrasive cleaners may cut though the surface of the enamel finish and permanently destroy the high luster. The use of soaps in cleaning operations is also not recommended since a dull film may be left on the highly finished surfaces.
CLEANING CHROME SURFACES - Chrome plated parts should be kept clean and free from foreign matter. Several elements tend to destroy the beauty and sparkle of plated surfaces: sulphur dioxide present in the air, salt and calcium chloride used to clean streets of snow and ice and salt air in seacoast locations. Frequent washing of the car will help keep these destructive elements under control. However, if rust spots appear on chrome plated surfaces, especially on scratched or scuffed care bumpers, use MoPar Chromium Polish to remove every trace of rust. To prevent further oxidation, rub affected parts with a clean cloth lightly saturated with oil. For semi-permanent protection, apply a thin coat of wax, varnish or clear lacquer.
REMOVING TAR AND ROAD OIL - Tar streaks picked up on freshly tarred roads can be removed when fresh with clean gasoline or naphtha. If hardened, use a commercial tar remover. Follow directions carefully to avoid scratching or dulling the surface. White sidewall tires can be cleaned with household scouring powder that does not contain harmful abrasives.
CLEANING GLASS SURFACES - When cleaning a dirty windshield or grimy car windows, always wet or moisten the wiping cloth with water or MoPar Glass Cleaner. Wiping with a dry cloth may cause minute surface scratches on the glass. Do not operate the windshield wipers on a dry windshield
