Finish Damage

Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches in the finish

should be repaired right away. Bare metal will corrode

quickly and may develop into a major repair expense.

Minor chips and scratches can be repaired with touch-up

materials available from your dealer or other service

outlets. Larger areas of finish damage can be corrected

in your dealer’s body and paint shop.

Underbody Maintenance

Chemicals used for ice and snow removal and dust control

can collect on the underbody.

accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur on

the

underbody

parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust

system even though they

have

corrosion protection.

Chemical Paint Spotting

Some weather and atmospheric conditions can create a

chemical fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall upon and

attack painted surfaces on your vehicle. This damage

can take two forms: blotchy, ringlet-shaped

discolorations, and small irregular dark spots etched

into the paint surface.

Although no defect in the paint job causes this,

will

repair, at no charge to the owner, the surfaces of new

vehicles damaged by this fallout condition within

months or

miles

of purchase,

whichever occurs first.

At least every spring, flush these materials from the

underbody with plain water. Clean any areas where mud

and other debris can collect. Dirt packed in closed areas

of the frame should be loosened before being flushed.

Your dealer or an underbody car washing system can

this for you.
