Finish Damage

Any stone chips, fractures or deep scratches

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. If these

are

not

removed, 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.

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

underbody car washing system can do

this for you.

Chemic 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,

Chevrolet will repair, at no charge to the owner, the

surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout

condition within

months or

12,000

of purchase, whichever occurs first.
