We have received from C. G. Yokes and Co., 95 and 97, Lower Richmond Road, Putney, London, S.W.15, a tin of a new cleaning material known as 1Luttonizing Fluid, this firm having been appointed sole distributors of the material to the motor trade. The preparation is somewhat unusual in that it does not 'contain any acid or alkali, and it is claimed that it -will restore the coachwork of a vehicle to its original showroom finish. Furthermore, the surface to which it has been applied will not finger-mark, smear, or
show scratches. In addition to this the fluid can be used to clean and renovate upholstery, metalwork, glass and furniture or for removing grease from the hands.
To use the fluid, all old polish must first be removed from the surface and, to do this, the raw Efuttonizing Fluid (sprinkled on, a damp rag) must be rubbed over the surface, the residue being -then washed off with a sponge and leather and the surface dried and polished with a soft duster. This having once been done, the vehicle can be washed and polished on future occasions by adding a tablespoonful of the fluid to a gallon of water.
A little of the fluid will remove small, fresh, tar spots, but large splashes should first be smeared with butter and, after the tar has been softened, the fluid will remove both tar and butter.
ugh-class Road Lamps.
Powerful head and side lamps, quite up to the standard of those fitted to private ears of good make, are now a common feature on long-distance saloon buses. There is an increasing demand for this class of lamp as more and more luxurious coaches are produced and, in order to supply this need, Picard (Accessories), Ltd., 43, Great Marl borough Street, W.1, has introduced its Auteroche equipment to commercial users. The Auteroche lamps have been used on large private cars for some considerable time, but they should prove eminently suitable for commercial work, as they are strongly constructed and give a powerful light. Many models are finished with untarnishable chromitim plating and fitted with the latest inverted-bulb arrangement, wherein the main bulb points, as it were, towards the reflector, a smaller and less powerful bulb for dimming purposes being carried in the normal position. There is also a regulating device for focusing the bulbs as required. Prices of the Auteroche head lamps range from £4 12s. for a pair suitable for use on vans and lorries to £21 for a pair of the Grand Luxe type in the best finish. The range also includes a number of spotlights, together with side and/tail lamps at reasonable prices.
