The ~present-day owner using mod
ern methods may keep his car looking
new all the time, nor viii he have to
spend more than a few moments q, day
TO accomplish this end. For instance,
there are now on the market a number
OF liquid and wax polishes which will
give admirable results If they are used
as directed.
In the use Of wax polishes the first
step IL to clean the body Of the car
thoroughly The polish is applied to
the surface with a piece OF cheese
cloth and then another clean cloth is
used to distribute the wax evenly all
over the surface. Car owners COM
monty make the mistake Of thinking
that the more wax applied the better.
As a matter Of fact q very thin aim
is all that is needed. The polish will
last for from four days to q week, and
after 1t has been applied at the begin
ming Of the week a little rubbing with
q clean cloth will bring out the luster
again. The wax polish may be used
Tor body, tenders, hood and other lus-
trous surfaces and 1t will also be found
that II the under side Of the tenders
10 cleaned and given a good coating
OF wax less mud will be deposited and
what is therepmay be easily removed.
Spray Polish.
The most recent type Of body polish
p that which Is sprayed on the suface
With a large sprayer. In using this pol
ish the body must be thoroughly
cleaned with water. II the body sur
faces are merely dusty the polish may
be sprayed on and then be wiped off
with a clean cloth. After spraying the
polish over the surface a piece Of
cheesecloth is used to wipe off the
excess.
The present-day owner must not
assume that these new and really use
full aids to identifying the motorcar
have superseded plain water. The con-
trary Is true. The car must be washed
Just al formerly, after which the new
polishes will bring out the luster Of the
original finish.
Soap should never be used on the
body except for removing grease or oil
spots. A small piece Of soft cloth,
well covered with CASTLE soap suda,
serves very well to remove grease from
the panels. The hood should never be
washed while 1t is hot, as this will re-
suit in discoloration. In cleaning the
radiator send a stream Of water from
the rea instead of the front, to keep
moisture out Of the mechanism
Use a Channels.
In drying the body a clean chamois
skin should be used, rubbing being
done in straight lines. If spots Of tar
or road oil are found on the body it is
best to treat them with salt, butter or
kerosene. The butter softens the de-
post SO that 1t may be wiped off easily.
Kerosene should be applied locally and
wiped off within a minute.
