VAUXHALL 20-60 SHOP MANUAL

The polished radiator shell is made of solid German Silver, and may therefore
be cleaned as often as necessary, without fear of the original bright finish
being affected.

CLEANING UPHOLSTERY

SECTION To keep Moquette or Bedford Cord upholstery in the best condition, it
153 should be cleaned at least once a month with a whisk broom and vacuum

cleaner. Dirt and grit accumulating in the fabric wear it out quicker than
actual use.

Spots on the upholstery may be removed with any good dry cleaner. When
the cleaner has thoroughly evaporated, apply a hot flat iron wrapped in a
wet cloth. Steaming the fabric and rubbing slightly against the nap will raise
the nap to its normal position.

Furniture hide and antique leather upholstery should be cleaned occasionally
with a good quality furniture cream, to keep it in good condition. The cream
should be applied sparingly with a flannel pad and afterwards polished with
a soft polishing duster.
