When you bought your car, one of ‘the greatest factors in influencing you, was the general finish and ap- pearance of the car. You not only want a car to take you where you ‘want to go, but you want a car you can take a pride in owning. is no doubt whatever, you, get a great deal more. pleasure when driving a car that has a fresh glistening body than you do when driving one that looks old and dull. ‘The quaestion is, how long can the finish of the average car be kept shining and bright? The answer is, it depends entirely on the treatment it receives. The finest body finish can be rulmed in a very short time by carelessness or improper treatment, while with proper care it will last for at least one year and perhaps two. If your car needs washing and polishing up, here’s the way to go about it. If you are going to wash it out In the open and the sun is very warm, select a spot somewhere in the shade. If you attempt to wash out in.the hot sun, the water dries. off before you have a chanos 00 NOT ALLOW muD TO DRY ON BODY REMOVE ORY MUD BY PLAYING HOSE ON IT AND ALLOW MU® TO FLOAT OFF TY bird to use the chamois, with the result that the finish has a fine-collection of streaky marks. For the same reason it Js a wise plan never to wash your car directly after a long run on a very warm day when the body is warm—give it a change to cool off. If you have a nice shady spot, let's start, Before you turn on the water, remove the nozzle from the hose, so that the water will flow without any force behind it. Neglect of this little point has ruined the finish on thous- ands of cars. When the water strikes the body with any great force, it simply drives the mud and dirt into the varnish and permanently dulls the finish. . In washing, allow the water to flow on gently over the body, at the same time sponging softly in stra'ght lines to and fro. Never sponge with a circular motion, for if there ts any &rit in the sponge, the circular mo- tlon will cause scratghes that will show ‘up badly. When you use straigh to and fro motions, if there are any scratches they will not show so much. After you have sponged over the whole car, gently hose it all over to remove any dirt or grit that may remain. A,word about sponges. Use two of them and get them as large as Possible. Use one for the body ex clusively and the other use only for the wheels and chassis. The sponge used on the body must be kept absolutely free from grease, o, kero: sene or gasoline. Ariy of these oils Will dissolve Or soften the finish and for this reason must be kept off sponges and chamois. If the body has any mud on t, re Prutsn OFF WITH CLEAN Se CHAMOIS, 1F WATER 1S ALLOWED TO DRY ON IT Witt LEAVE STREAKS move as-soon as possible. There are two very good reasons why mud must not be left to dry on the var- nish, First, because there is always a certain amount of lime apd am- monia in mud that will eat into var- nish and spot it. Second, you are Mable to scratch the finish unless you are very careful when removing it. The best way to remove mud ts to play the hose on it gently and allow the mud to float off. Do not get im- patient and try to rub the mud off with the sponge before it is softened. After hosing and sponging, finish off by drying with a large chamois skin, It is a good {dea to have a bucket of clean water beside you into which you can dip the chamois and rinse it out each time you dry off; Use the chamois the same as you uss the sponge, in long straight lines. After washing all over, do not al low the water to dry on the body or it will leeye the finish spotted and streaky. If, however, you do hap- pen to be unfortunate enough to ger There | the body spotted up a little from this cause. do not worry about it, as a few washings and exposure to the air will soon cause it to disappear. Never use soap on the body, use nothing but pure water. Sometimes it is necessary to use a little soap or kerosene in the water to remove the grease or ofl from the wheels and chassis, but be very careful indeed not to use the sponge you use on the body to sponge the wheels.

When I started to ask questions and to try different sorts of gasoline, it did not take very long so decide upon Conoco. For more than a year after I learned to drive, I was forever killing my engine at down-town crossings and stalling on hills. Sometimes my husband would laugh at me and sometimes he would scold me for abusing the car, but he did not know much more about gasoline then than I did. I have often heard him say that all kinds of gasolines are alike. He would not say that now, though! “After we decided to use Conoco all the time and had our car- buretor set, most of my troubles vanished like magic. T used to feel a little Bit nervous and worried when driving but now, with Conoco in our tank, I am just as happy and confident as I used to pretend to be. Even my husband occasionally admits I’m a good chauffeur. last month I saved enough out of my gasoline allowance to buy two matinee tickets.”” Conoco promotes economical, trouble-free automobile performance because of its unvarying hi h quali it is exactly the s: y.
