3 When the primer has dried apply the surface enamel in the same way. Spray on several times and
allow the paint to dry a minute or so between each application.
pg. 86 Washing
Washing the car
The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint
and may cause damage.
When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before
you wash with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil. A water-soluble grease solvent may be
used in cases of sticky dirt.
However, use a washplace equipped with a drainage separator.
Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels.
Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car bas been washed.
After washing, lubricate the electrically-operated antenna mast with a cloth soaked in oil.
A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning
improves visibility considerably.
After washing the engine, the spark plug wells must be blown dry.
NOTE:
It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt
has been used on the roads. Also wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.)
In areas of high industrial fallout more frequent washing is also recommended.
Suitable detergents
Special car washing detergents or liquid dishwashing detergent can be used. A suitable mixture is about
2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl.) of detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent
the car should be well rinsed with clean water.
