Maintenance
Finish damage repair
Underbody maintenance
Waxing
Wax  the   vehicle  when   water  will   no
longer bead on the paint.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing.  Use   a  good  quality   liquid  or
paste wax, and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Wax all metal trim to protect
it and to maintain its luster.
Removing  oil,  tar,  and  similar  materials
with a spot remover will usually strip the
wax  from  the  finish. Be  sure  to  re-wax
these areas even if the rest of the vehicle
does not yet need waxing.
Deep  scratches  or  stone  chips   in  the
painted    surface    must    be   repaired
promptly. Exposed metal will quickly rust
and  may   develop  into  a  major   repair
expense.
Corrosive  materials   used  for   ice  and
snow removal and dust control may col-
lect on the underbody. If these materials
are not removed, accelerated rusting can
occur  on  underbody  parts  such  as  the
fuel lines, frame, floor pan and exhaust
system,  even   though  they  have  been
treated with rust protection.
Thoroughly flush the vehicle underbody
and  wheel  openings  with  lukewarm  or
cold  water  once  a  month  at  the  end  of
each  winter.   Pay  special   attention  to
these areas because it is difficult to see
all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm
than  good  to  wet  down  the  road  grime
without removing it.  The lower edges of
doors,  rocker  panels,  and  frame  mem-
bers have drain holes that should not be
allowed to clog with dirt; trapped water in
these areas can cause rusting.
NOTICE
If your vehicle  is damaged and requires
any metal repair or replacement, be sure
the   body  shop   applies  anti-corrosion
materials    to   the   parts   repaired    or
replaced.
CAUTION
Bright-metal maintenance
Wiping  dust or  dirt  off the  body
with  a dry  cloth  will scratch  the
finish.
To remove road tar and insects, use a
tar  remover,  not  a   scraper  or  other
sharp object.
Do  not  use  steel  wool, abrasive
cleaners,   or  strong   detergents
containing    highly    alkaline    or
caustic  agents  on  chrome-plated
or anodized aluminum parts. This
may result in damage to the pro-
tective coating and cause discol-
oration or paint deterioration.
To protect the surfaces of bright-metal
parts from corrosion, apply a coating of
wax or chrome preservative and rub to
a high luster.
WARNING
After washing the vehicle,   test the
brakes while driving slowly to see if
they have been affected by water. If
braking  performance   is  impaired,
dry  the  brakes  by   applying  them
lightly while maintaining a slow for-
ward speed.
During  winter  weather   or  in  coastal
areas, cover the bright metal parts with
a heavier coating of wax or preserva-
tive. If  necessary,  coat  the  parts  with
non-corrosive petroleum jelly or other
protective compound.
