Appearance Care and Protection from
Corrosion
Protection of Body and Paint from
Corrosion
Vehicle body care requirements vary ac-
cording to geographic locations and us-
age. Chemicals that make roads passable
in snow and ice and those that are
sprayed on trees and road surfaces dur-
ing other seasons are highly corrosive to
the metal in your vehicle. Outside parking,
which exposes your vehicle to airborne
contaminants, road surfaces on which the
vehicle is operated, extreme hot or cold
weather and other extreme conditions will
have an adverse effect on paint, metal
trim, and underbody protection.
The following maintenance recommenda-
tions will enable you to obtain maximum
benefit from the corrosion resistance built
into your vehicle.
What Causes Corrosion?
Corrosion is the result of deterioration or
removal of paint and protective coatings
from your vehicle.
The most common causes are:
• Road salt, dirt, and moisture accumula-
tion.
• Stone and gravel impact.
• Insects, tree sap, and tar.
• Salt in the air near seacoast localities.
