Properly to wash a car with soap, first
dissolve in a pail OF water sufficient soap
to make good suds. Then in the washing
operation use the suds, sopping it on from
the sponge instead of rubbing the soap

applying the suds the car should be rinsed
thoroughly wit1 water, using a gentle

PROPER WASHING
OF MOTOR CARS
81 ErGENE 2 Rrs.ELL.

The proper washing of automobile
bodies is a very important work anu Oi e
which has been almost entirely overlooked
IN many sections of the country so far as
giving instructions 10 chauff-nrs as to how
this work should be done Often If Oh e
asaulnR OF instructions were eft to the car
owner it would be out of the question: as
be is not sufficiently familiar with the
best methods. II Is sale TO say that the
operation of washing a car is least under
stood OF all wOi king car maintenance
The proper performance least appreciated
II Bny work IN car maintenance vet il is,
80 far as maintaining good appearance
OF the car is concerned, the most import.
ant work on the car.
The use Of soap in washing an automo-
bile is unnecessary and ill advised where
the washer thoroughly understands his
business As it is common practice to
use soap in washing automobiles, and as
IL is not the intention Of this article to
advocate washing automobiles without
soAp, the articls will discuss washing
with soap.
IL is common practice to adopt the easi-
esi method Of removing dirt. The easi-
esi method is to purchase a good strong
soap. This, with the use OF water, at
times almost hot, removes the dirt in the
easiest manner 1t has the drawback,
however, Of removing the varnish. One
washing of this character will not remove
She varnish, but a dozen washings will
dull il and few months will remove it,
so far as the luster is concerned A con
tinnance of this practice will actually re-
move the body Of the varnish ia a few
months more and in extreme cases of use (
and abuse following this practice, it has
been known to remove the paint itself. /
as some OF the ingredients, acids and
alkali, in the strong soap, are employed /
IN various mixtures, used for removing
paint for the purpose of re6nishiDg a car
The use OF the best imported CASTLE is 1
recommended. Laundry and toilet SOAPS /
are 10 be avoided Automobile soaps, /
some good, some bad, are made expressly /
for washing cars. They are made IN both I
the soft and the hard soap variety. The
proper soap, principal ingredients of
which are pure potash and oil, will pro
pBrly clean a car, and will have no bad
effect on the lu-ter of the car. Soap that
contains alkali should not be used ANY
oil she alkalis, either sodium or potassium
carbonate, are naturally bad for varnish. I
Many owners have access to the ser.
vices of a chemist, in which case it is very
Httle trouble to analyze the soap. Those +,
who do not have access had best stick to
