RUINOUS DIRT AND MUD
Next to lubrication, cleanliness, perhaps, is the best automobile maintenance investment. Mud, oil and dirt left on the fenders and body of a car for any length of time “set,” or work their way into the finish, so that when the car is thoroughly washed and cleaned for a polish job, an abrasive must be used to get the dirt out. After this has been repeated several times, the finish is materially affected —often worn down to the first coat and the metal. Dirt and mud accumulate on the oil or grease cups that many cars are equipped with, working their way into the gears and then into the bearings, where they act as an abrasive, causing extensive wear.
