Care of the Car Interior
The care of the interior of your car determines to a large measure the
resale value when you contemplate trading in or selling. It is not a
difflcult job to perform and the small amount of time thus expended
will be well repaid by the pride you will derive from its neat appearance.
All body joints are thoroughly sealed against the possibilities of dust
entering while driving on dusty roads. However, a certain amount of dust
and dirt will find its way into the car by various means and this, if allowed
to remain, has an abrasive action on the cloth and will in time cause the
upholstery cloth to show wear. It is, therefore, suggested that at least
once each month, or oftener if conditions warrant, the neat cushions be
removed and they and the seat backs and upholstered panels be thor-
oughly brushed with a whisk broom and then vacuum-cleaned.
The nap on mohair upholstery can be easily restored to its normal
position if it should become matted down by covering the area with a
damp cloth and then steaming it with a hot iron.
Most spots which are apt to soil the car upholstery can be quickly and
neatly removed by the use of Hudson Upholstery Dry Cleaner or
Hudson Foam Solution Cleaner which are available from your Hudson
dealer.
It is advisable when cleaning soiled sections or spots to work in a circular
manner outside the area, working gradually toward the center. By this
method you will be certain not to leave an unsightly ring.
Care of the Convertible Coupe
and Convertible Brougham
Folding Top
Convertible Coupe and Convertible
Brougham tops frequently become spotted
through the lowering and raising operation.
These spots or soiled areas are often per-
mitted to remain for fear of discoloring the
top material.
By the use of Hudson Dry Cleaner soiled
areas can very easily be cleaned. The
proper method is to select an area slightly
larger than the area to be cleaned and rub
lightly in a circular manner, gradually
working toward the center.
