Your  Car 
Although  acrylic paint on your 
car 
is durable,  you may  wish  to 
wax  or polish  for added  protection. 
Your  Chevrolet  Dealer offers many 
polishes  and waxes  now available 
which  have proven  of real  value 
in 
maintaining  a good  paint  finish. 
When  using a tar  and  road  oil 
remover,  be certain  it 
is safe for 
use  on acrylic  painted  surfaces. 
Protection  of Exterior 
Bright 
Metal Parts 
Bright  metal parts should  be 
cleaned regularly to maintain 
luster. Washing  with water is all 
that 
is usually  required.  However, 
G.M.  Chrome 
Polish may be used 
on CHROME or STAINLESS 
STEEL 
trim  if necessary. 
Use special  care with ALU
MINUM  trim. Never  use auto  or 
chrome polish, steam or any  caustic 
soap to clean  aluminum. 
A  coating  of wax,  rubbed  to a 
high  polish, 
is recommended  for 
all  bright  metal parts. 
Cleaning White Sidewall 
Tires 
Use a tire  cleaner  which will 
not  harm  aluminum  trim. A stiff 
brush  may be used  with the cleaner 
to  remove  road grime  and dirt 
from  white  sidewall  tires. 
Cleaning the Optional 
Vinyl 
Top 
The  top should  be washed  fre
quently  with neutral  soap suds, 
lukewarm  water and a brush  with 
soft  bristles.  Rinse top with 
suffi
cient  quantities  of clear  water  to 
remove  all traces  of soap. 
If the  top  requires  additional 
cleaning after using soap and 
water, a mild  foaming  cleanser 
can  be used.  Rinse  the whole  top 
with  water;  then apply  a mild 
49 
foaming  type cleanser  on an area 
of  approximately
--two  square  feet. 
Scrub area with  a small  soft bristle 
hand  brush  adding  water 
as neces
sary  until  the cleanser  foams to 
a  soapy  consistency.  Remove the 
first  accumulated  soilage with a 
cloth  or sponge  before it can  be 
ground into the top material. 
Apply  additional  cleanser to the 
area  and scrub  until the top 
is 
clean.  Care must be exercised  to 
keep  the cleanser  from running 
onto  body  finish 
as it may  cause 
streaks 
if allowed  to run  down 
and  dry.  After  the entire  top 
has  been  cleaned,  rinse generously 
with  clear  water  to remove  all 
traces  of cleanser. 
Do not use 
volatile cleaner or household 
bleaching agents on the top 
material.
