WASHING THE CAR
When it is considered that rust is the principal agent destructive to car finishes, and that rust is the result of road dirt, grime and grit, the importance of regular car washing becomes evident. Here i.s the way it can be done by anyone in less than half an hour’s time:
Hose the car with cold water, using the full stream without the nozzle, ex 7 c-ept on the under body. The dirt is loosened and floated off in this way, especially if rubbed gently from time to time with a thoroughly watersoaked sponge. Two sponges known as “carriage sponges” should be used, one for the body and the other for the running gear.
After flushing the entire car with cold water, the chassis should be washed first with large ispongefuls of soap and water and thoroughly rinsed. Then wash the body with cold water and dry with a chamois.
