After removing the dirt film with a soft
sponge, the body work should be thor-

ing or spotting of the paint work.
!
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-
parentallowingearlyrectificationtobe
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-
pooused.
