CHECK POINTS
1 . Paint
2. Scratches or damage to glass
3. Rust formation
4. Contamination of interior parts
5. Installation of equipment
1 . Check the paint after removing the paint protective
agent and washing the vehicle.
Before removing the protective agent, be sure to wash
the vehicle, because the painted surface may be
scratched if the surface is rubbed with sand or other
hard particles which may be attached to the protective
agent.
Check the whole vehicle body for stains, flaking,
damage caused by transportation, rust, dirt, cracks, or
blistering .
a. It is better to determine an inspection pattern in
order to avoid missing an area, since the total area is
not small.
b. It is desirable not to make corrections to the body
paint unless absolutely needed . However, if any cor-
rections are required to remove scratches or rust, the
area to be corrected must be limited as much as
possible. Re-painting and spray painting must be
avoided whenever possible.
2 . Carefully check each window glass for scratches.
Slight damage may be removed by polishing with ce-
rium oxide . (Half-fill a cup with cerium oxide, and add
warm water to it . Then agitate the contents until it turns
to wax. Apply this wax to a soft cloth, and polish the
glass.)
3. Check each portion of the vehicle body and under-
side components for the formation of rust . If rust is
discovered, remove it with #80 - #180 emery paper,
and treat the surface with rust preventive . After this
treatment is completed, flush the portion thoroughly,
and prepare the surface for repair painting .
Check each portion of the body and all of the chrome
parts for deformation or distortion . Also check each
lamp lens for cracks .
4. Check the following interior parts for contamination .
1) Instrument panel and meter glass
2) Glove box
3) Sun visor
4) Room mirror
5) Assist rail
6) Roof trim
7) Door trim
8) Inner trim
9) Front and rear seats
10) Luggage shelf
11) Floor mat
12) Others
If the meter glass is contaminated, wipe it gently with
a clean soft cloth that has been dampened with water.
Do not rub the meter glass hard ; otherwise, the trans-
parent resin plate on it may become cloudily due to the
formation of scratches.
5. Check the interior and exterior equipment to make
sure that they are installed securely. Also make sure that
the equipment conforms to the vehicle's specifications .
Make sure that the spare tire, jack, spare key, tools,
owner's manual, warranty £r service booklet, etc . are
all present.
