THE CORRECT METHOD
It is the common practice among private- owners to wash their car onco a week. No car can be properly washed or cleaned without plenty of water. Allow the water to flow lavishly over the body, especially where mud and dirt are adhering. Do hot attempt to nil) the body clean. When a gentle copious flow of water has softened and removed all mud and dirt, swab gently with a leather, or, preferably a big sponge. In cases where the car is varnished, water hardens and preserves the varnish. It also gives a greater lustre. When drying use a good chamois, especially kept for the purpose. - If the car is splashed with tar, smear the spots with vaseline. Rainspots on varnish disappear upon the application of linseed oil. If the paintwork shows innumerable small scratches, it is a sure sign that insufficient water is being used. Cars ducoed or similarly treated if given the same care, will amply repay the owner by their appearance.
