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 retailer or an underbody car washing system can
do this for you.
Collision Repair
Your vehicle was built with composite SMC (Sheet
Molded Compound) fiberglass body panels and molded
RIM (Reaction Injection Molded) front fenders and
bumper covers. These panels require different collision
repair procedures than metal-paneled vehicles. See your
Oldsrnobile retailer for information on collision repair.
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,
Oldsmobile will repair, at no charge to the owner, the
surfaces of new vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within I2 months or 12,000 miles (20 000 km)
of purchase, whichever comes first.
