The finish is well treated when water being
poured upon it is repelled in beads. The
product "BMW Hard-gloss Polish" is applied
with a soft polishing cloth or polishing cotton,
in small quantities upon the completely dry
finish, doing only a small area at a time. Next
dry the body and then rub it down, using a
clean polishing cloth, until original brilliance is
restored.
Light metal parts, such as bumpers, window
Frames, etc. which have become opaque or
spotted should be coated with a chromium-
nickel polish and then be polished with a
clean, soft linen cloth or wad until the original
brilliance is restored (fig. 26).
The maintenance of the canvas hood is easy,
if carried out correctly. Dust is removed with a
soft brush and from time to time one cleans
the canvas hood with a washing brush, using
plenty of water (figure 27). Never try to
remove spots with gasoline or other chemical
products, but rather use good textile cleaner
for this purpose in the same manner as you
would use it for removing spots from clothes.
Care should be taken on the maintenance of
the window panels. All windows are of
toughened safety glass. The adherent dust is
removed with a duster, or best with plenty of
flowing water by means of hose and sponge.
Rub them dry with a chamois skin, but never
with a linen cloth.
To remove the seat from the vehicle in order
to carry out interior maintenance there is a
little trick. First remove the spare wheel in the
manner as already described. Then fold the
seat and turn it right into the gap which
contained the spare wheel. Now draw the
seat on its left corner forward, raise and
remove in upward direction (figure 29).
