Deep scratches
1. Place a strip of masking tape over the damaged surface. Pull the tape off so that any loose flakes of
paint adhere to it.
2. Thoroughly mix the primer and apply it with a small brush.
When the primer surface is dry, the paint can be applied using a brush. Mix the paint thoroughly; apply
several thin paint coats and let dry after each application.
3. If there is a longer scratch, you may want to protect surrounding paint by masking it off.
pg. 149 Washing the car
Washing the car
● The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint
and may cause damage. It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to
prevent corrosion, when salt has been used on the roads.
● When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt
before you wash with a sponge and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
● Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be
permanently damaged.
● A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
● A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place
equipped with a drainage separator.
● Remove dirt from the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels.
● Dry the car with a clean chamois.
● Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed.
● A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent
cleaning improves visibility considerably.
