Staining the car's inte-
rior fabric, especially for
the first time, can be a
trying experience, Usually
the owner has been proud-
ly keeping the outside
clean and bright, but he or
she has very little knowl-
edge about how to remove
a smudge of chocolate or
shoe polish from the seat
fabrics.
Not always difficult
Whether or not the stain
is difficult to remove de-
pends mainly upon the
type of stain and the fab-
ric. Most automobile seat
and door panel upholstery
use three types, according
to Fisher Body Division of
General Motors.
1. Vinyl coated fabrics.
2. Genuine leather. 3. Syn-
thetic cloth fibers (nylon
or rayon) .
Vinyl and leather are
relatively easy to clean.
In fact, there is but one.
recommended method of
removing stains from
these two types of fabrics.
Use lukewarm water and
only the suds from neutral
soap worked into a piece
of gauze or cheesecloth.
This treatment should
work on most stains.
Synthetic fibers
Cleaning nylon or rayon
cloth fibers is more of a
challenge.
For best results, stains
should be removed as soon
as possible after they have
been made. The longer
they set, the more difficult
the job becomes. Experts
warn that treatment of
some stains, especially
where water treatment is
specified, may cause dis-
coloration or disturbance
of the finish. These nega-
tive results, however, may
be considered preferable
to the stain itself.
Before discussing what
can be done for stains, one
should first learn what
NOT to do when cleaning
fabric. Here are four
points to remember:
1. Never use gasoline or
naphtha. •
2. Do not use solvents
such as acetone, lac-
quer thinners,, enamel
reducers or nail polish
remover.
3. Do not use laundry
SHINING EXAMPLES
A. survey in Great Brit-
ain reveals that among
those who polish their
cars regularly, 58 per cent
have never had an acci-
dent. Only 31 per cent of
those who don't polish
cars could claim such dis-
tinction.
I3REAK IN TIRES
• Tires need a break-in
period when new. Keep
well within the speed Iimit

they can function as an
integral unit.
soaps, blenches or re-
ducing agents. They
weaken fabric and
change its color.
4. Do not use too much '
cleaning fluid because
an excessive amount
May destroy rubber
padding or leave a sol-
vent ring.
There are two ways of
cleaning general soilage
from cloth fabrics. One is
with a cleaning fluid and
the other is with detergent
foam cleaners.,
Cleaning Fluid Use
Cleaning fluid, which
can usually be obtained
through an automobile
dealer or reputable auto-
motive supply house,
should be used to clean
stains containing grease,
oil or fats. , Here's how to
use it:
1. Vacuum area to re-
move loose dirt.
2. Always clean at least a
full panel or section
of trim by masking off
adjacent trim along
stitch or weld lines.
3. Mix detergent type of
foam cleaners strictly
'according to directions
on label.
4. Use foam only on .a
clean sponge or soft
bristle brush. Do not
wet fabric excessively
or rub harshly with a
brush.
5. Wipe clean with a
slightly damp absorb-
ent' towel or cloth.
6. Immediately dry fabric
with a dry towel or
hair dryer.
7. Rewipe fabric with dry
absorbent towel or
cloth to restore the
luster of 'the trim and
to eliminate any dried
residue.
Good housekeeping in-
side the family car can
mean extra dollars at
trade-in time, so it should
be worth your effort to
keep it tidy and spotless.

fatalities per 100 million

statistic, it's a vast im-
prciverrient over the 1930
figure. In that year, the
rate was 16.5 deaths per
