sponge, the body work should be thor-
oughly rinsed  and  then dried  with a
good quality  chamois leather to  pre-
vent streaking or spotting of the paint
work.

using a sponge and water. Cast alloy
wheels should be cleaned using a mild
soap  or neutral  detergent.  Abrasive
compounds must not be used since in
the event of these  damaging the lac-
quer  coating, oxidization  of  the alu-
minium wheel will  occur, spoiling the
appearance.
Regular   cleaning    of  the   exterior
paintwork serves two important func-
tions. Firstly, the removal of abrasive
dirt and contaminants will maintain the
lustre of the paintwork and will prevent
discolouration and dulling due to pro-
longed contact.
Secondly,  the  presence  of damage
through impact or abrasion will be ap-

made thus preventing corrosion from
becoming established and  spreading
beneath the paint film. To avoid "water
spotting"  the  vehicle  should not  be
washedindirectsunlightparticularlyin
the case of vehicles having dark body
colours. The heat from the sun rays is
absorbed by the paint film increasing
the surface  temperature. This action
causes  water  used  for  washing   to
evaporate quickly leaving  behind the
deposits from the water and the sham-
poo used.
Should tree  sap, dead insects  or tar
prove to be difficult to remove from the
paint film, turpentine  or a proprietary
paint cutting compound may be used.

POLISHING
The exterior paint work should be pol-
ished  with  a proprietary  wax  polish
when water no longer collects in bead
form on  the paint  work. The instruc-
tions  of   the  product  manufacturer
should be adhered to.
The use of an a toothbrush  will facili-
tate   cleaning   between   the  wheel
"spokes".
Use only a shampoo intended for the
purposeandensurethatthebodywork
is thoroughly wetted to soften the dirt
film prior to attempting to remove this.
