finishes.
It is recommended that all bright metal parts of your
Corvair,
after being thoroughly cleaned, be given a
coating
of wax and rubbed to a high polish. This will
serve to keep corrosive agents away from these surfaces,
and should be repeated as often as required.
Cleaning White Sidewall Tires
Use soap, warm water or a tire cleaner and a stiff
brush to remove
road grime and' dirt from white sidewall
tires. A fine
grade of steel wool will remove severe curb
scrapes .
Do not use gasoline, kerosene or any oil product
which would discolor or deteriorate the rubber.
INTERIOR APPEARANCE
Dust and Dirt
Clean the interior of your car frequently, using a
broom
or vacuum cleaner.
Polish should not be used to clean interior bright
finish parts. Abrasive compounds used
in most polishes
may damage the finish. Cleaning with a damp cloth,
then rubbing with a polishing cloth
is all that is required.

serious damage to aluminum trim. Use caution
when cleaning tires with this type
of cleaner .
Spots and Stains
Remove upholstery stains as soon as possible or
they may become "set" and difficult or impossible to
remove. First determine the type
and age of the stain
and the kind of upholstery material. Kar Kleen Uphol­
stery Cleaner, available from your Authorized Chevrolet
Dealer,
will remove most stains. Do not use alkaline
cleaners for they may
damage the color or finish of the
materials.
Other solutions such as hot or cold water,
ammonia water,
soap, ink eradicator, etc., will probably
discolor and disturb the material.
CAUTION: When cleaning interior fabrics or
carpeting, do not use volatile cleaning solvents
such
as: acetone, lacquer thinners, carbon tetra­
chloride, enamel reducers, nail polish removers,
or laundry soaps, bleaches and reducing agents.
