Protecting Exterior Bright Metal Parts
Bright metal parts should be cleaned regularly to keep their
luster. Washing with water is all that is usually needed.
Use special care with aluminum trim. To avoid damaging pro-
tective trim, never use automotive or chrome polish, steam,
or caustic soap to clean aluminum. A coating of wax, rubbed
to a high polish, is recommended for all bright metal parts.
Cleaning Alumimum Wheels, Rally Wheels, and
Wheel Covers
Preserve the original appearance of wheels or wheel covers
by keeping them clean and free from build-up of road dirt and/
or road salt. Regular cleaning is recommended. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or cleaning brushes, as they could dam-
age the finish.

CORROSION PROTECTION

Your car was designed to resist corrosion. Special materials
and protective finishes were used on most parts of your car
when it was built to help maintain a good appearance,
strength and reliable operation. Some parts which normally
are not visible (such as certain parts located in the engine
compartment and the underbody of the vehicle) are such that
surface rust will not affect their reliability. Therefore, corrosion
protection is not needed or used on these parts.
Sheet Metal Damage
If your car is damaged and requires body panel repair or
replacement, make sure the body repair shop applies proper
anticorrosion material to the parts repaired or replaced so
that corrosion protection is restored. (Also see "Finish dam-
age" which follows).
Foreign Material Deposits
Calcium chloride and other salts, ice melting agents, road
oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings, chemicals from indus-
trial chimneys and other foreign matter may damage vehicle
finishes if left on painted surface. Prompt washing may not
completely remove all of these deposits. Other cleaners may
be needed. When using chemical cleaners, be sure they are
safe for use on painted surfaces.
