CLEmING
OF
PltLAETON TOP
The cloth cover material used on the Cadillac Phaeton Top option
is
an
extremely durable material that will, with proper care, retain its
appearance for a long period
of
time. The top can also be subjected to
commercial car wash equipment procedures and cleaning solutions
without adversely affecting the appearance
of
the material.
Your phaeton top should be washed frequently with neutral soapsuds and
cold or lukewarm water and a soft-bristled brush. Rinse the top with
sufficient quantities
of
clear water to remove all traces
of
soap.
If
the
cover has been allowed to get severely soiled and cannot be properly
cleaned with soap and water, a mild cleaning agent can be used, such as
G.M.
Multipurpose Powdered Cleaner
(G.M.
Part
No.
1050803).
Rinse
the entire top with water; then apply the mild cleaner
on
a small area
(approximately
two
square feet). Scrub the area with a soft-bristled hand
