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 is 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, except 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 water-soaked 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 wased first with large spongefuls of soap and water and thoroughly rinsed. Then wash the body with cold water, and dry with a chamois.
