Must Be Washed.

-
The p~resent-day owner using mod
ern methods may keep his car looking
new all the time, nor will he have to
spend more than a few moments q day
to accomplish this end. For instance.
there are now on the market q number
of liquid and IA pollshes which wifi
give admirable results II 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 Il
the surface with a piece Of cheese
cloth and then another clean cloth IL
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 a very thin film
is all that is needed. The polish will
last for from four days to a week, and
after 1t has been applied at the begin
ming Of the week a little rubbing with
a clean cloth Will bring out the luster
again. The wax polish may be used
for body. tenders, hood and other lus-
trous surfaces and II will also be found
that II the under side OF the tenders
IL cleaned and given a good coating
Of wax less mud will be deposited and
what Is there may be easily removed,
Spray Polish;
The most recent type Of body polish
is that which Is sprayed on the sufaee
with a large sprayer. In using this pol
Ugh 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 OIL
with a clean cloth. After spraying the
polish over the surface a piece of
cheesecloth Is used to wipe OF the
excess;
The present-day owner must not
assume that these new and really use
ful aids to identifying the motorcar
have superseded plain water. The con-
trary Is true. The car must be washed
Just as 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 suds
serve very well to remove grease from
the panels. The hood should never be-
washed while II is hot, as this will re
suit In dlscoloratlon. In cleaning tn,
radiator send q stream of water from
the rear instead of the front, 10 keey
moisture out of the mechanism.
Use a Channels.
In drying the body a clean channels
skin should be used, rubbing beini
done in straight lines. II spots of tai
or road oil are found on the body II Il
best to treat them with salt. butter o
kerosene. The butter softens the de
post SO that 1t may be wiped off easily
Kerosene should be applied locally an,
wiped OF within O minute.
To keep pace with the improved az
pearance Of the body IL is necessar
to give some attention to the top an
the upholstery. A weekly brushln
OF the top inside and out will aid ms
terialiy In is life. Fabric tops Shout
never be cleaned with gasoline. ker,
sent or other oils, as they tend to q,
stroy the rubber in the top. Csstil
soap and water applied with q stl
brush 10 the best cleansing mediu
for the top.
